HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 755, 859, 379 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 755, 859, 379 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 755, 859, 379 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 755, 859, 379 is 1.
HCF(755, 859, 379) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 755, 859, 379 is 1.
Step 1: Since 859 > 755, we apply the division lemma to 859 and 755, to get
859 = 755 x 1 + 104
Step 2: Since the reminder 755 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 104 and 755, to get
755 = 104 x 7 + 27
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 104 and the new remainder 27, and apply the division lemma to get
104 = 27 x 3 + 23
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 23 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 4 x 5 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 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 755 and 859 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(23,4) = HCF(27,23) = HCF(104,27) = HCF(755,104) = HCF(859,755) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 379 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 379 and 1, to get
379 = 1 x 379 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 379 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(379,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
