HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 895, 352, 825, 792 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 895, 352, 825, 792 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 895, 352, 825, 792 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 895, 352, 825, 792 is 1.
HCF(895, 352, 825, 792) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 895, 352, 825, 792 is 1.
Step 1: Since 895 > 352, we apply the division lemma to 895 and 352, to get
895 = 352 x 2 + 191
Step 2: Since the reminder 352 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 191 and 352, to get
352 = 191 x 1 + 161
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 191 and the new remainder 161, and apply the division lemma to get
191 = 161 x 1 + 30
We consider the new divisor 161 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
161 = 30 x 5 + 11
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 11 x 2 + 8
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 8 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 3 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 895 and 352 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(8,3) = HCF(11,8) = HCF(30,11) = HCF(161,30) = HCF(191,161) = HCF(352,191) = HCF(895,352) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 825 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 825 and 1, to get
825 = 1 x 825 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 825 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(825,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 792 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 792 and 1, to get
792 = 1 x 792 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 792 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(792,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
