HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 725, 4824, 9175 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 725, 4824, 9175 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 725, 4824, 9175 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 725, 4824, 9175 is 1.
HCF(725, 4824, 9175) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 725, 4824, 9175 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4824 > 725, we apply the division lemma to 4824 and 725, to get
4824 = 725 x 6 + 474
Step 2: Since the reminder 725 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 474 and 725, to get
725 = 474 x 1 + 251
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 474 and the new remainder 251, and apply the division lemma to get
474 = 251 x 1 + 223
We consider the new divisor 251 and the new remainder 223,and apply the division lemma to get
251 = 223 x 1 + 28
We consider the new divisor 223 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
223 = 28 x 7 + 27
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 27 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 1 x 27 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 725 and 4824 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(27,1) = HCF(28,27) = HCF(223,28) = HCF(251,223) = HCF(474,251) = HCF(725,474) = HCF(4824,725) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 9175 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 9175 and 1, to get
9175 = 1 x 9175 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 9175 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(9175,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
