HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 892, 379, 625 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 892, 379, 625 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 892, 379, 625 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 892, 379, 625 is 1.
HCF(892, 379, 625) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 892, 379, 625 is 1.
Step 1: Since 892 > 379, we apply the division lemma to 892 and 379, to get
892 = 379 x 2 + 134
Step 2: Since the reminder 379 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 134 and 379, to get
379 = 134 x 2 + 111
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 134 and the new remainder 111, and apply the division lemma to get
134 = 111 x 1 + 23
We consider the new divisor 111 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
111 = 23 x 4 + 19
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 19 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 4 x 4 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 892 and 379 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(19,4) = HCF(23,19) = HCF(111,23) = HCF(134,111) = HCF(379,134) = HCF(892,379) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 625 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 625 and 1, to get
625 = 1 x 625 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 625 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(625,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
