HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 783, 289, 365 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 783, 289, 365 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 783, 289, 365 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 783, 289, 365 is 1.
HCF(783, 289, 365) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 783, 289, 365 is 1.
Step 1: Since 783 > 289, we apply the division lemma to 783 and 289, to get
783 = 289 x 2 + 205
Step 2: Since the reminder 289 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 205 and 289, to get
289 = 205 x 1 + 84
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 205 and the new remainder 84, and apply the division lemma to get
205 = 84 x 2 + 37
We consider the new divisor 84 and the new remainder 37,and apply the division lemma to get
84 = 37 x 2 + 10
We consider the new divisor 37 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
37 = 10 x 3 + 7
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 7 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 3 x 2 + 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 783 and 289 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(7,3) = HCF(10,7) = HCF(37,10) = HCF(84,37) = HCF(205,84) = HCF(289,205) = HCF(783,289) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 365 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 365 and 1, to get
365 = 1 x 365 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 365 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(365,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
