HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 882, 513, 52 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 882, 513, 52 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 882, 513, 52 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 882, 513, 52 is 1.
HCF(882, 513, 52) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 882, 513, 52 is 1.
Step 1: Since 882 > 513, we apply the division lemma to 882 and 513, to get
882 = 513 x 1 + 369
Step 2: Since the reminder 513 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 369 and 513, to get
513 = 369 x 1 + 144
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 369 and the new remainder 144, and apply the division lemma to get
369 = 144 x 2 + 81
We consider the new divisor 144 and the new remainder 81,and apply the division lemma to get
144 = 81 x 1 + 63
We consider the new divisor 81 and the new remainder 63,and apply the division lemma to get
81 = 63 x 1 + 18
We consider the new divisor 63 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
63 = 18 x 3 + 9
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 9 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 9, the HCF of 882 and 513 is 9
Notice that 9 = HCF(18,9) = HCF(63,18) = HCF(81,63) = HCF(144,81) = HCF(369,144) = HCF(513,369) = HCF(882,513) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 52 > 9, we apply the division lemma to 52 and 9, to get
52 = 9 x 5 + 7
Step 2: Since the reminder 9 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 7 and 9, to get
9 = 7 x 1 + 2
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 2, and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 2 x 3 + 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 9 and 52 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(9,7) = HCF(52,9) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
