HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 773, 572, 333 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 773, 572, 333 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 773, 572, 333 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 773, 572, 333 is 1.
HCF(773, 572, 333) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 773, 572, 333 is 1.
Step 1: Since 773 > 572, we apply the division lemma to 773 and 572, to get
773 = 572 x 1 + 201
Step 2: Since the reminder 572 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 201 and 572, to get
572 = 201 x 2 + 170
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 201 and the new remainder 170, and apply the division lemma to get
201 = 170 x 1 + 31
We consider the new divisor 170 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
170 = 31 x 5 + 15
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 15 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 1 x 15 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 773 and 572 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(15,1) = HCF(31,15) = HCF(170,31) = HCF(201,170) = HCF(572,201) = HCF(773,572) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 333 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 333 and 1, to get
333 = 1 x 333 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 333 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(333,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
