HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 825, 7835, 7248 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 825, 7835, 7248 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 825, 7835, 7248 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 825, 7835, 7248 is 1.
HCF(825, 7835, 7248) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 825, 7835, 7248 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7835 > 825, we apply the division lemma to 7835 and 825, to get
7835 = 825 x 9 + 410
Step 2: Since the reminder 825 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 410 and 825, to get
825 = 410 x 2 + 5
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 410 and the new remainder 5, and apply the division lemma to get
410 = 5 x 82 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 825 and 7835 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(410,5) = HCF(825,410) = HCF(7835,825) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 7248 > 5, we apply the division lemma to 7248 and 5, to get
7248 = 5 x 1449 + 3
Step 2: Since the reminder 5 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3 and 5, to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2, and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
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 5 and 7248 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(7248,5) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
