HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 805, 210, 792 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 805, 210, 792 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 805, 210, 792 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 805, 210, 792 is 1.
HCF(805, 210, 792) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 805, 210, 792 is 1.
Step 1: Since 805 > 210, we apply the division lemma to 805 and 210, to get
805 = 210 x 3 + 175
Step 2: Since the reminder 210 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 175 and 210, to get
210 = 175 x 1 + 35
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 175 and the new remainder 35, and apply the division lemma to get
175 = 35 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 35, the HCF of 805 and 210 is 35
Notice that 35 = HCF(175,35) = HCF(210,175) = HCF(805,210) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 792 > 35, we apply the division lemma to 792 and 35, to get
792 = 35 x 22 + 22
Step 2: Since the reminder 35 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 22 and 35, to get
35 = 22 x 1 + 13
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 13, and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 13 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 9 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 4 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 35 and 792 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(9,4) = HCF(13,9) = HCF(22,13) = HCF(35,22) = HCF(792,35) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
