HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 735, 895, 618 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 735, 895, 618 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 735, 895, 618 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 735, 895, 618 is 1.
HCF(735, 895, 618) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 735, 895, 618 is 1.
Step 1: Since 895 > 735, we apply the division lemma to 895 and 735, to get
895 = 735 x 1 + 160
Step 2: Since the reminder 735 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 160 and 735, to get
735 = 160 x 4 + 95
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 160 and the new remainder 95, and apply the division lemma to get
160 = 95 x 1 + 65
We consider the new divisor 95 and the new remainder 65,and apply the division lemma to get
95 = 65 x 1 + 30
We consider the new divisor 65 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
65 = 30 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 5 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 735 and 895 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(30,5) = HCF(65,30) = HCF(95,65) = HCF(160,95) = HCF(735,160) = HCF(895,735) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 618 > 5, we apply the division lemma to 618 and 5, to get
618 = 5 x 123 + 3
Step 2: Since the reminder 5 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3 and 5, to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
Step 3: 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 5 and 618 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(618,5) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 735, 895, 618?
Answer: HCF of 735, 895, 618 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 735, 895, 618 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 735, 895, 618 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
