HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 807, 209, 350 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 807, 209, 350 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 807, 209, 350 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 807, 209, 350 is 1.
HCF(807, 209, 350) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 807, 209, 350 is 1.
Step 1: Since 807 > 209, we apply the division lemma to 807 and 209, to get
807 = 209 x 3 + 180
Step 2: Since the reminder 209 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 180 and 209, to get
209 = 180 x 1 + 29
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 180 and the new remainder 29, and apply the division lemma to get
180 = 29 x 6 + 6
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 6 x 4 + 5
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 5 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 807 and 209 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(6,5) = HCF(29,6) = HCF(180,29) = HCF(209,180) = HCF(807,209) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 350 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 350 and 1, to get
350 = 1 x 350 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 350 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(350,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
