HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 813, 506, 328 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 813, 506, 328 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 813, 506, 328 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 813, 506, 328 is 1.
HCF(813, 506, 328) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 813, 506, 328 is 1.
Step 1: Since 813 > 506, we apply the division lemma to 813 and 506, to get
813 = 506 x 1 + 307
Step 2: Since the reminder 506 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 307 and 506, to get
506 = 307 x 1 + 199
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 307 and the new remainder 199, and apply the division lemma to get
307 = 199 x 1 + 108
We consider the new divisor 199 and the new remainder 108,and apply the division lemma to get
199 = 108 x 1 + 91
We consider the new divisor 108 and the new remainder 91,and apply the division lemma to get
108 = 91 x 1 + 17
We consider the new divisor 91 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
91 = 17 x 5 + 6
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 6 x 2 + 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 813 and 506 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(6,5) = HCF(17,6) = HCF(91,17) = HCF(108,91) = HCF(199,108) = HCF(307,199) = HCF(506,307) = HCF(813,506) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 328 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 328 and 1, to get
328 = 1 x 328 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 328 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(328,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
