HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 807, 5528, 8822 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 807, 5528, 8822 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, 5528, 8822 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, 5528, 8822 is 1.
HCF(807, 5528, 8822) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 807, 5528, 8822 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5528 > 807, we apply the division lemma to 5528 and 807, to get
5528 = 807 x 6 + 686
Step 2: Since the reminder 807 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 686 and 807, to get
807 = 686 x 1 + 121
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 686 and the new remainder 121, and apply the division lemma to get
686 = 121 x 5 + 81
We consider the new divisor 121 and the new remainder 81,and apply the division lemma to get
121 = 81 x 1 + 40
We consider the new divisor 81 and the new remainder 40,and apply the division lemma to get
81 = 40 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 40 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
40 = 1 x 40 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 807 and 5528 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(40,1) = HCF(81,40) = HCF(121,81) = HCF(686,121) = HCF(807,686) = HCF(5528,807) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 8822 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 8822 and 1, to get
8822 = 1 x 8822 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 8822 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8822,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
