HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 930, 606, 325 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 930, 606, 325 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 930, 606, 325 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 930, 606, 325 is 1.
HCF(930, 606, 325) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 930, 606, 325 is 1.
Step 1: Since 930 > 606, we apply the division lemma to 930 and 606, to get
930 = 606 x 1 + 324
Step 2: Since the reminder 606 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 324 and 606, to get
606 = 324 x 1 + 282
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 324 and the new remainder 282, and apply the division lemma to get
324 = 282 x 1 + 42
We consider the new divisor 282 and the new remainder 42,and apply the division lemma to get
282 = 42 x 6 + 30
We consider the new divisor 42 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
42 = 30 x 1 + 12
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 12 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 6 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 6, the HCF of 930 and 606 is 6
Notice that 6 = HCF(12,6) = HCF(30,12) = HCF(42,30) = HCF(282,42) = HCF(324,282) = HCF(606,324) = HCF(930,606) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 325 > 6, we apply the division lemma to 325 and 6, to get
325 = 6 x 54 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 6 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 6, to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6 and 325 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(325,6) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
