HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 727, 616, 697, 275 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 727, 616, 697, 275 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 727, 616, 697, 275 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 727, 616, 697, 275 is 1.
HCF(727, 616, 697, 275) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 727, 616, 697, 275 is 1.
Step 1: Since 727 > 616, we apply the division lemma to 727 and 616, to get
727 = 616 x 1 + 111
Step 2: Since the reminder 616 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 111 and 616, to get
616 = 111 x 5 + 61
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 111 and the new remainder 61, and apply the division lemma to get
111 = 61 x 1 + 50
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 50,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 50 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 50 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
50 = 11 x 4 + 6
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 6 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 5 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 727 and 616 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(6,5) = HCF(11,6) = HCF(50,11) = HCF(61,50) = HCF(111,61) = HCF(616,111) = HCF(727,616) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 697 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 697 and 1, to get
697 = 1 x 697 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 697 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(697,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 275 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 275 and 1, to get
275 = 1 x 275 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 275 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(275,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
