HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 884, 6563, 6605 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 884, 6563, 6605 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 884, 6563, 6605 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 884, 6563, 6605 is 1.
HCF(884, 6563, 6605) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 884, 6563, 6605 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6563 > 884, we apply the division lemma to 6563 and 884, to get
6563 = 884 x 7 + 375
Step 2: Since the reminder 884 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 375 and 884, to get
884 = 375 x 2 + 134
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 375 and the new remainder 134, and apply the division lemma to get
375 = 134 x 2 + 107
We consider the new divisor 134 and the new remainder 107,and apply the division lemma to get
134 = 107 x 1 + 27
We consider the new divisor 107 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
107 = 27 x 3 + 26
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 26 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 1 x 26 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 884 and 6563 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(26,1) = HCF(27,26) = HCF(107,27) = HCF(134,107) = HCF(375,134) = HCF(884,375) = HCF(6563,884) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 6605 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 6605 and 1, to get
6605 = 1 x 6605 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 6605 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6605,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
