HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 795, 7049, 7582 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 795, 7049, 7582 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 795, 7049, 7582 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 795, 7049, 7582 is 1.
HCF(795, 7049, 7582) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 795, 7049, 7582 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7049 > 795, we apply the division lemma to 7049 and 795, to get
7049 = 795 x 8 + 689
Step 2: Since the reminder 795 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 689 and 795, to get
795 = 689 x 1 + 106
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 689 and the new remainder 106, and apply the division lemma to get
689 = 106 x 6 + 53
We consider the new divisor 106 and the new remainder 53, and apply the division lemma to get
106 = 53 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 53, the HCF of 795 and 7049 is 53
Notice that 53 = HCF(106,53) = HCF(689,106) = HCF(795,689) = HCF(7049,795) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 7582 > 53, we apply the division lemma to 7582 and 53, to get
7582 = 53 x 143 + 3
Step 2: Since the reminder 53 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3 and 53, to get
53 = 3 x 17 + 2
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2, and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 53 and 7582 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(53,3) = HCF(7582,53) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
