HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 933, 620, 575 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 933, 620, 575 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 933, 620, 575 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 933, 620, 575 is 1.
HCF(933, 620, 575) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 933, 620, 575 is 1.
Step 1: Since 933 > 620, we apply the division lemma to 933 and 620, to get
933 = 620 x 1 + 313
Step 2: Since the reminder 620 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 313 and 620, to get
620 = 313 x 1 + 307
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 313 and the new remainder 307, and apply the division lemma to get
313 = 307 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 307 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
307 = 6 x 51 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma 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 933 and 620 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(307,6) = HCF(313,307) = HCF(620,313) = HCF(933,620) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 575 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 575 and 1, to get
575 = 1 x 575 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 575 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(575,1) .
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 933, 620, 575?
Answer: HCF of 933, 620, 575 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 933, 620, 575 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 933, 620, 575 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
