HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 706, 437, 835 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 706, 437, 835 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 706, 437, 835 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 706, 437, 835 is 1.
HCF(706, 437, 835) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 706, 437, 835 is 1.
Step 1: Since 706 > 437, we apply the division lemma to 706 and 437, to get
706 = 437 x 1 + 269
Step 2: Since the reminder 437 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 269 and 437, to get
437 = 269 x 1 + 168
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 269 and the new remainder 168, and apply the division lemma to get
269 = 168 x 1 + 101
We consider the new divisor 168 and the new remainder 101,and apply the division lemma to get
168 = 101 x 1 + 67
We consider the new divisor 101 and the new remainder 67,and apply the division lemma to get
101 = 67 x 1 + 34
We consider the new divisor 67 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
67 = 34 x 1 + 33
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 33,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 33 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 1 x 33 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 706 and 437 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(33,1) = HCF(34,33) = HCF(67,34) = HCF(101,67) = HCF(168,101) = HCF(269,168) = HCF(437,269) = HCF(706,437) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 835 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 835 and 1, to get
835 = 1 x 835 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 835 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(835,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
