HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 824, 323, 349 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 824, 323, 349 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 824, 323, 349 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 824, 323, 349 is 1.
HCF(824, 323, 349) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 824, 323, 349 is 1.
Step 1: Since 824 > 323, we apply the division lemma to 824 and 323, to get
824 = 323 x 2 + 178
Step 2: Since the reminder 323 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 178 and 323, to get
323 = 178 x 1 + 145
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 178 and the new remainder 145, and apply the division lemma to get
178 = 145 x 1 + 33
We consider the new divisor 145 and the new remainder 33,and apply the division lemma to get
145 = 33 x 4 + 13
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 13 x 2 + 7
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 7 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 6 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 824 and 323 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(7,6) = HCF(13,7) = HCF(33,13) = HCF(145,33) = HCF(178,145) = HCF(323,178) = HCF(824,323) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 349 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 349 and 1, to get
349 = 1 x 349 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 349 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(349,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
