HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 733, 466, 198 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 733, 466, 198 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 733, 466, 198 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 733, 466, 198 is 1.
HCF(733, 466, 198) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 733, 466, 198 is 1.
Step 1: Since 733 > 466, we apply the division lemma to 733 and 466, to get
733 = 466 x 1 + 267
Step 2: Since the reminder 466 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 267 and 466, to get
466 = 267 x 1 + 199
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 267 and the new remainder 199, and apply the division lemma to get
267 = 199 x 1 + 68
We consider the new divisor 199 and the new remainder 68,and apply the division lemma to get
199 = 68 x 2 + 63
We consider the new divisor 68 and the new remainder 63,and apply the division lemma to get
68 = 63 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 63 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
63 = 5 x 12 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
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 733 and 466 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(63,5) = HCF(68,63) = HCF(199,68) = HCF(267,199) = HCF(466,267) = HCF(733,466) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 198 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 198 and 1, to get
198 = 1 x 198 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 198 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(198,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
