HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 922, 630, 665 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 922, 630, 665 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 922, 630, 665 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 922, 630, 665 is 1.
HCF(922, 630, 665) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 922, 630, 665 is 1.
Step 1: Since 922 > 630, we apply the division lemma to 922 and 630, to get
922 = 630 x 1 + 292
Step 2: Since the reminder 630 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 292 and 630, to get
630 = 292 x 2 + 46
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 292 and the new remainder 46, and apply the division lemma to get
292 = 46 x 6 + 16
We consider the new divisor 46 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
46 = 16 x 2 + 14
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 14 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 2 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 922 and 630 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(14,2) = HCF(16,14) = HCF(46,16) = HCF(292,46) = HCF(630,292) = HCF(922,630) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 665 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 665 and 2, to get
665 = 2 x 332 + 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 665 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(665,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 922, 630, 665?
Answer: HCF of 922, 630, 665 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 922, 630, 665 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 922, 630, 665 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
