HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 723, 65391 i.e. 3 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 723, 65391 is 3 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 723, 65391 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 723, 65391 is 3.
HCF(723, 65391) = 3
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 723, 65391 is 3.
Step 1: Since 65391 > 723, we apply the division lemma to 65391 and 723, to get
65391 = 723 x 90 + 321
Step 2: Since the reminder 723 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 321 and 723, to get
723 = 321 x 2 + 81
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 321 and the new remainder 81, and apply the division lemma to get
321 = 81 x 3 + 78
We consider the new divisor 81 and the new remainder 78,and apply the division lemma to get
81 = 78 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 78 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
78 = 3 x 26 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 723 and 65391 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(78,3) = HCF(81,78) = HCF(321,81) = HCF(723,321) = HCF(65391,723) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
