HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 826, 319, 369 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 826, 319, 369 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 826, 319, 369 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 826, 319, 369 is 1.
HCF(826, 319, 369) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 826, 319, 369 is 1.
Step 1: Since 826 > 319, we apply the division lemma to 826 and 319, to get
826 = 319 x 2 + 188
Step 2: Since the reminder 319 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 188 and 319, to get
319 = 188 x 1 + 131
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 188 and the new remainder 131, and apply the division lemma to get
188 = 131 x 1 + 57
We consider the new divisor 131 and the new remainder 57,and apply the division lemma to get
131 = 57 x 2 + 17
We consider the new divisor 57 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
57 = 17 x 3 + 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 826 and 319 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(6,5) = HCF(17,6) = HCF(57,17) = HCF(131,57) = HCF(188,131) = HCF(319,188) = HCF(826,319) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 369 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 369 and 1, to get
369 = 1 x 369 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 369 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(369,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
