HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 769, 5053, 2718 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 769, 5053, 2718 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 769, 5053, 2718 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 769, 5053, 2718 is 1.
HCF(769, 5053, 2718) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 769, 5053, 2718 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5053 > 769, we apply the division lemma to 5053 and 769, to get
5053 = 769 x 6 + 439
Step 2: Since the reminder 769 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 439 and 769, to get
769 = 439 x 1 + 330
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 439 and the new remainder 330, and apply the division lemma to get
439 = 330 x 1 + 109
We consider the new divisor 330 and the new remainder 109,and apply the division lemma to get
330 = 109 x 3 + 3
We consider the new divisor 109 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
109 = 3 x 36 + 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 769 and 5053 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(109,3) = HCF(330,109) = HCF(439,330) = HCF(769,439) = HCF(5053,769) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 2718 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 2718 and 1, to get
2718 = 1 x 2718 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 2718 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2718,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
