HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 75, 802, 672, 628 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 75, 802, 672, 628 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 75, 802, 672, 628 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 75, 802, 672, 628 is 1.
HCF(75, 802, 672, 628) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 75, 802, 672, 628 is 1.
Step 1: Since 802 > 75, we apply the division lemma to 802 and 75, to get
802 = 75 x 10 + 52
Step 2: Since the reminder 75 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 52 and 75, to get
75 = 52 x 1 + 23
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 52 and the new remainder 23, and apply the division lemma to get
52 = 23 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 6 x 3 + 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 75 and 802 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(6,5) = HCF(23,6) = HCF(52,23) = HCF(75,52) = HCF(802,75) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 672 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 672 and 1, to get
672 = 1 x 672 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 672 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(672,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 628 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 628 and 1, to get
628 = 1 x 628 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 628 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(628,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
