HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 795, 897, 34, 396 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 795, 897, 34, 396 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, 897, 34, 396 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, 897, 34, 396 is 1.
HCF(795, 897, 34, 396) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 795, 897, 34, 396 is 1.
Step 1: Since 897 > 795, we apply the division lemma to 897 and 795, to get
897 = 795 x 1 + 102
Step 2: Since the reminder 795 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 102 and 795, to get
795 = 102 x 7 + 81
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 102 and the new remainder 81, and apply the division lemma to get
102 = 81 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 81 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
81 = 21 x 3 + 18
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 18 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 3 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 795 and 897 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(18,3) = HCF(21,18) = HCF(81,21) = HCF(102,81) = HCF(795,102) = HCF(897,795) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 34 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 34 and 3, to get
34 = 3 x 11 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 3, 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 3 and 34 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(34,3) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 396 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 396 and 1, to get
396 = 1 x 396 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 396 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(396,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
