HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 907, 3023, 3136 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 907, 3023, 3136 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 907, 3023, 3136 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 907, 3023, 3136 is 1.
HCF(907, 3023, 3136) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 907, 3023, 3136 is 1.
Step 1: Since 3023 > 907, we apply the division lemma to 3023 and 907, to get
3023 = 907 x 3 + 302
Step 2: Since the reminder 907 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 302 and 907, to get
907 = 302 x 3 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 302 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
302 = 1 x 302 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 907 and 3023 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(302,1) = HCF(907,302) = HCF(3023,907) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 3136 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 3136 and 1, to get
3136 = 1 x 3136 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 3136 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3136,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
