HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 919, 748, 435 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 919, 748, 435 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 919, 748, 435 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 919, 748, 435 is 1.
HCF(919, 748, 435) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 919, 748, 435 is 1.
Step 1: Since 919 > 748, we apply the division lemma to 919 and 748, to get
919 = 748 x 1 + 171
Step 2: Since the reminder 748 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 171 and 748, to get
748 = 171 x 4 + 64
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 171 and the new remainder 64, and apply the division lemma to get
171 = 64 x 2 + 43
We consider the new divisor 64 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
64 = 43 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 21 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 1 x 21 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 919 and 748 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(21,1) = HCF(43,21) = HCF(64,43) = HCF(171,64) = HCF(748,171) = HCF(919,748) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 435 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 435 and 1, to get
435 = 1 x 435 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 435 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(435,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
