HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 757, 562, 243 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 757, 562, 243 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 757, 562, 243 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 757, 562, 243 is 1.
HCF(757, 562, 243) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 757, 562, 243 is 1.
Step 1: Since 757 > 562, we apply the division lemma to 757 and 562, to get
757 = 562 x 1 + 195
Step 2: Since the reminder 562 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 195 and 562, to get
562 = 195 x 2 + 172
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 195 and the new remainder 172, and apply the division lemma to get
195 = 172 x 1 + 23
We consider the new divisor 172 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
172 = 23 x 7 + 11
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 11 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 1 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 757 and 562 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(11,1) = HCF(23,11) = HCF(172,23) = HCF(195,172) = HCF(562,195) = HCF(757,562) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 243 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 243 and 1, to get
243 = 1 x 243 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 243 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(243,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
