HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7745, 3468, 78561 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7745, 3468, 78561 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 7745, 3468, 78561 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 7745, 3468, 78561 is 1.
HCF(7745, 3468, 78561) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7745, 3468, 78561 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7745 > 3468, we apply the division lemma to 7745 and 3468, to get
7745 = 3468 x 2 + 809
Step 2: Since the reminder 3468 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 809 and 3468, to get
3468 = 809 x 4 + 232
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 809 and the new remainder 232, and apply the division lemma to get
809 = 232 x 3 + 113
We consider the new divisor 232 and the new remainder 113,and apply the division lemma to get
232 = 113 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 113 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
113 = 6 x 18 + 5
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 5 x 1 + 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 7745 and 3468 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(6,5) = HCF(113,6) = HCF(232,113) = HCF(809,232) = HCF(3468,809) = HCF(7745,3468) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 78561 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 78561 and 1, to get
78561 = 1 x 78561 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 78561 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(78561,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
