HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 770, 463, 919 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 770, 463, 919 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, 463, 919 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, 463, 919 is 1.
HCF(770, 463, 919) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 770, 463, 919 is 1.
Step 1: Since 770 > 463, we apply the division lemma to 770 and 463, to get
770 = 463 x 1 + 307
Step 2: Since the reminder 463 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 307 and 463, to get
463 = 307 x 1 + 156
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 307 and the new remainder 156, and apply the division lemma to get
307 = 156 x 1 + 151
We consider the new divisor 156 and the new remainder 151,and apply the division lemma to get
156 = 151 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 151 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
151 = 5 x 30 + 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 770 and 463 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(151,5) = HCF(156,151) = HCF(307,156) = HCF(463,307) = HCF(770,463) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 919 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 919 and 1, to get
919 = 1 x 919 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 919 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(919,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
