HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 894, 571, 534 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 894, 571, 534 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 894, 571, 534 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 894, 571, 534 is 1.
HCF(894, 571, 534) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 894, 571, 534 is 1.
Step 1: Since 894 > 571, we apply the division lemma to 894 and 571, to get
894 = 571 x 1 + 323
Step 2: Since the reminder 571 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 323 and 571, to get
571 = 323 x 1 + 248
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 323 and the new remainder 248, and apply the division lemma to get
323 = 248 x 1 + 75
We consider the new divisor 248 and the new remainder 75,and apply the division lemma to get
248 = 75 x 3 + 23
We consider the new divisor 75 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
75 = 23 x 3 + 6
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 6 x 3 + 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 894 and 571 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(6,5) = HCF(23,6) = HCF(75,23) = HCF(248,75) = HCF(323,248) = HCF(571,323) = HCF(894,571) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 534 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 534 and 1, to get
534 = 1 x 534 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 534 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(534,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
