HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 927, 7682, 7228 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 927, 7682, 7228 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 927, 7682, 7228 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, 7682, 7228 is 1.
HCF(927, 7682, 7228) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 927, 7682, 7228 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7682 > 927, we apply the division lemma to 7682 and 927, to get
7682 = 927 x 8 + 266
Step 2: Since the reminder 927 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 266 and 927, to get
927 = 266 x 3 + 129
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 266 and the new remainder 129, and apply the division lemma to get
266 = 129 x 2 + 8
We consider the new divisor 129 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
129 = 8 x 16 + 1
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 1 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 927 and 7682 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(129,8) = HCF(266,129) = HCF(927,266) = HCF(7682,927) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 7228 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 7228 and 1, to get
7228 = 1 x 7228 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 7228 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7228,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
