HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 785, 606, 193 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 785, 606, 193 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 785, 606, 193 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 785, 606, 193 is 1.
HCF(785, 606, 193) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 785, 606, 193 is 1.
Step 1: Since 785 > 606, we apply the division lemma to 785 and 606, to get
785 = 606 x 1 + 179
Step 2: Since the reminder 606 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 179 and 606, to get
606 = 179 x 3 + 69
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 179 and the new remainder 69, and apply the division lemma to get
179 = 69 x 2 + 41
We consider the new divisor 69 and the new remainder 41,and apply the division lemma to get
69 = 41 x 1 + 28
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 28 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 13 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 2 x 6 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 785 and 606 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(13,2) = HCF(28,13) = HCF(41,28) = HCF(69,41) = HCF(179,69) = HCF(606,179) = HCF(785,606) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 193 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 193 and 1, to get
193 = 1 x 193 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 193 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(193,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 785, 606, 193?
Answer: HCF of 785, 606, 193 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 785, 606, 193 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 785, 606, 193 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
