HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 822, 549, 732, 17 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 822, 549, 732, 17 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 822, 549, 732, 17 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 822, 549, 732, 17 is 1.
HCF(822, 549, 732, 17) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 822, 549, 732, 17 is 1.
Step 1: Since 822 > 549, we apply the division lemma to 822 and 549, to get
822 = 549 x 1 + 273
Step 2: Since the reminder 549 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 273 and 549, to get
549 = 273 x 2 + 3
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 273 and the new remainder 3, and apply the division lemma to get
273 = 3 x 91 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 822 and 549 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(273,3) = HCF(549,273) = HCF(822,549) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 732 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 732 and 3, to get
732 = 3 x 244 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 3 and 732 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(732,3) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 17 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 17 and 3, to get
17 = 3 x 5 + 2
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2 and 3, to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 3 and 17 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(17,3) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
