HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 927, 594, 807 i.e. 3 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 927, 594, 807 is 3 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 927, 594, 807 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 927, 594, 807 is 3.
HCF(927, 594, 807) = 3
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 927, 594, 807 is 3.
Step 1: Since 927 > 594, we apply the division lemma to 927 and 594, to get
927 = 594 x 1 + 333
Step 2: Since the reminder 594 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 333 and 594, to get
594 = 333 x 1 + 261
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 333 and the new remainder 261, and apply the division lemma to get
333 = 261 x 1 + 72
We consider the new divisor 261 and the new remainder 72,and apply the division lemma to get
261 = 72 x 3 + 45
We consider the new divisor 72 and the new remainder 45,and apply the division lemma to get
72 = 45 x 1 + 27
We consider the new divisor 45 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
45 = 27 x 1 + 18
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 18 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 9 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 9, the HCF of 927 and 594 is 9
Notice that 9 = HCF(18,9) = HCF(27,18) = HCF(45,27) = HCF(72,45) = HCF(261,72) = HCF(333,261) = HCF(594,333) = HCF(927,594) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 807 > 9, we apply the division lemma to 807 and 9, to get
807 = 9 x 89 + 6
Step 2: Since the reminder 9 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 6 and 9, to get
9 = 6 x 1 + 3
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 3, and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 3 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 9 and 807 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(6,3) = HCF(9,6) = HCF(807,9) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
