HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 770, 2817, 3389 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 770, 2817, 3389 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 770, 2817, 3389 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 770, 2817, 3389 is 1.
HCF(770, 2817, 3389) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 770, 2817, 3389 is 1.
Step 1: Since 2817 > 770, we apply the division lemma to 2817 and 770, to get
2817 = 770 x 3 + 507
Step 2: Since the reminder 770 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 507 and 770, to get
770 = 507 x 1 + 263
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 507 and the new remainder 263, and apply the division lemma to get
507 = 263 x 1 + 244
We consider the new divisor 263 and the new remainder 244,and apply the division lemma to get
263 = 244 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 244 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
244 = 19 x 12 + 16
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 16 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 3 x 5 + 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 770 and 2817 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(16,3) = HCF(19,16) = HCF(244,19) = HCF(263,244) = HCF(507,263) = HCF(770,507) = HCF(2817,770) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 3389 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 3389 and 1, to get
3389 = 1 x 3389 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 3389 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3389,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
