HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 792, 551, 711 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 792, 551, 711 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 792, 551, 711 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 792, 551, 711 is 1.
HCF(792, 551, 711) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 792, 551, 711 is 1.
Step 1: Since 792 > 551, we apply the division lemma to 792 and 551, to get
792 = 551 x 1 + 241
Step 2: Since the reminder 551 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 241 and 551, to get
551 = 241 x 2 + 69
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 241 and the new remainder 69, and apply the division lemma to get
241 = 69 x 3 + 34
We consider the new divisor 69 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
69 = 34 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 1 x 34 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 792 and 551 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(34,1) = HCF(69,34) = HCF(241,69) = HCF(551,241) = HCF(792,551) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 711 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 711 and 1, to get
711 = 1 x 711 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 711 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(711,1) .
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 792, 551, 711?
Answer: HCF of 792, 551, 711 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 792, 551, 711 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 792, 551, 711 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
