HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 910, 7446, 8325 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 910, 7446, 8325 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 910, 7446, 8325 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 910, 7446, 8325 is 1.
HCF(910, 7446, 8325) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 910, 7446, 8325 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7446 > 910, we apply the division lemma to 7446 and 910, to get
7446 = 910 x 8 + 166
Step 2: Since the reminder 910 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 166 and 910, to get
910 = 166 x 5 + 80
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 166 and the new remainder 80, and apply the division lemma to get
166 = 80 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 80 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
80 = 6 x 13 + 2
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 2 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 910 and 7446 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(6,2) = HCF(80,6) = HCF(166,80) = HCF(910,166) = HCF(7446,910) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 8325 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 8325 and 2, to get
8325 = 2 x 4162 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, 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 2 and 8325 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(8325,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
