HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 729, 983, 625 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 729, 983, 625 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 729, 983, 625 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 729, 983, 625 is 1.
HCF(729, 983, 625) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 729, 983, 625 is 1.
Step 1: Since 983 > 729, we apply the division lemma to 983 and 729, to get
983 = 729 x 1 + 254
Step 2: Since the reminder 729 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 254 and 729, to get
729 = 254 x 2 + 221
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 254 and the new remainder 221, and apply the division lemma to get
254 = 221 x 1 + 33
We consider the new divisor 221 and the new remainder 33,and apply the division lemma to get
221 = 33 x 6 + 23
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 23 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 10 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 3 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 729 and 983 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(10,3) = HCF(23,10) = HCF(33,23) = HCF(221,33) = HCF(254,221) = HCF(729,254) = HCF(983,729) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 625 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 625 and 1, to get
625 = 1 x 625 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 625 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(625,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
