HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 705, 967, 884 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 705, 967, 884 is 1 the largest number which exactly divides all the numbers i.e. where the remainder is zero. Let us get into the working of this example.
Consider we have numbers 705, 967, 884 and we need to find the HCF of these numbers. To do so, we need to choose the largest integer first and then as per Euclid's Division Lemma a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r ≤ b
Highest common factor (HCF) of 705, 967, 884 is 1.
HCF(705, 967, 884) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 705, 967, 884 is 1.
Step 1: Since 967 > 705, we apply the division lemma to 967 and 705, to get
967 = 705 x 1 + 262
Step 2: Since the reminder 705 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 262 and 705, to get
705 = 262 x 2 + 181
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 262 and the new remainder 181, and apply the division lemma to get
262 = 181 x 1 + 81
We consider the new divisor 181 and the new remainder 81,and apply the division lemma to get
181 = 81 x 2 + 19
We consider the new divisor 81 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
81 = 19 x 4 + 5
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 5 x 3 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 705 and 967 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(19,5) = HCF(81,19) = HCF(181,81) = HCF(262,181) = HCF(705,262) = HCF(967,705) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 884 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 884 and 1, to get
884 = 1 x 884 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 884 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(884,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
