HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 713, 736, 665 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 713, 736, 665 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 713, 736, 665 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 713, 736, 665 is 1.
HCF(713, 736, 665) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 713, 736, 665 is 1.
Step 1: Since 736 > 713, we apply the division lemma to 736 and 713, to get
736 = 713 x 1 + 23
Step 2: Since the reminder 713 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 23 and 713, to get
713 = 23 x 31 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 23, the HCF of 713 and 736 is 23
Notice that 23 = HCF(713,23) = HCF(736,713) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 665 > 23, we apply the division lemma to 665 and 23, to get
665 = 23 x 28 + 21
Step 2: Since the reminder 23 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 21 and 23, to get
23 = 21 x 1 + 2
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 2, and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 2 x 10 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 23 and 665 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(21,2) = HCF(23,21) = HCF(665,23) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 713, 736, 665?
Answer: HCF of 713, 736, 665 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 713, 736, 665 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 713, 736, 665 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
