HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 807, 897, 82 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 807, 897, 82 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, 897, 82 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, 897, 82 is 1.
HCF(807, 897, 82) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 807, 897, 82 is 1.
Step 1: Since 897 > 807, we apply the division lemma to 897 and 807, to get
897 = 807 x 1 + 90
Step 2: Since the reminder 807 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 90 and 807, to get
807 = 90 x 8 + 87
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 90 and the new remainder 87, and apply the division lemma to get
90 = 87 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 87 and the new remainder 3, and apply the division lemma to get
87 = 3 x 29 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 807 and 897 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(87,3) = HCF(90,87) = HCF(807,90) = HCF(897,807) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 82 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 82 and 3, to get
82 = 3 x 27 + 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 82 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(82,3) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 807, 897, 82?
Answer: HCF of 807, 897, 82 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 807, 897, 82 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 807, 897, 82 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
