HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 925, 577, 374 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 925, 577, 374 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 925, 577, 374 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 925, 577, 374 is 1.
HCF(925, 577, 374) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 925, 577, 374 is 1.
Step 1: Since 925 > 577, we apply the division lemma to 925 and 577, to get
925 = 577 x 1 + 348
Step 2: Since the reminder 577 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 348 and 577, to get
577 = 348 x 1 + 229
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 348 and the new remainder 229, and apply the division lemma to get
348 = 229 x 1 + 119
We consider the new divisor 229 and the new remainder 119,and apply the division lemma to get
229 = 119 x 1 + 110
We consider the new divisor 119 and the new remainder 110,and apply the division lemma to get
119 = 110 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 110 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
110 = 9 x 12 + 2
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 2 x 4 + 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 925 and 577 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(9,2) = HCF(110,9) = HCF(119,110) = HCF(229,119) = HCF(348,229) = HCF(577,348) = HCF(925,577) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 374 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 374 and 1, to get
374 = 1 x 374 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 374 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(374,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
