HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 848, 781, 341 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 848, 781, 341 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 848, 781, 341 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 848, 781, 341 is 1.
HCF(848, 781, 341) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 848, 781, 341 is 1.
Step 1: Since 848 > 781, we apply the division lemma to 848 and 781, to get
848 = 781 x 1 + 67
Step 2: Since the reminder 781 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 67 and 781, to get
781 = 67 x 11 + 44
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 67 and the new remainder 44, and apply the division lemma to get
67 = 44 x 1 + 23
We consider the new divisor 44 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
44 = 23 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 21 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 2 x 10 + 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 848 and 781 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(21,2) = HCF(23,21) = HCF(44,23) = HCF(67,44) = HCF(781,67) = HCF(848,781) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 341 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 341 and 1, to get
341 = 1 x 341 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 341 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(341,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
