HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 714, 497, 765 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 714, 497, 765 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 714, 497, 765 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 714, 497, 765 is 1.
HCF(714, 497, 765) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 714, 497, 765 is 1.
Step 1: Since 714 > 497, we apply the division lemma to 714 and 497, to get
714 = 497 x 1 + 217
Step 2: Since the reminder 497 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 217 and 497, to get
497 = 217 x 2 + 63
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 217 and the new remainder 63, and apply the division lemma to get
217 = 63 x 3 + 28
We consider the new divisor 63 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
63 = 28 x 2 + 7
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 7 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 7, the HCF of 714 and 497 is 7
Notice that 7 = HCF(28,7) = HCF(63,28) = HCF(217,63) = HCF(497,217) = HCF(714,497) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 765 > 7, we apply the division lemma to 765 and 7, to get
765 = 7 x 109 + 2
Step 2: Since the reminder 7 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2 and 7, to get
7 = 2 x 3 + 1
Step 3: 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 7 and 765 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(765,7) .
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 714, 497, 765?
Answer: HCF of 714, 497, 765 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 714, 497, 765 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 714, 497, 765 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
