HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 955, 487, 628 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 955, 487, 628 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 955, 487, 628 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 955, 487, 628 is 1.
HCF(955, 487, 628) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 955, 487, 628 is 1.
Step 1: Since 955 > 487, we apply the division lemma to 955 and 487, to get
955 = 487 x 1 + 468
Step 2: Since the reminder 487 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 468 and 487, to get
487 = 468 x 1 + 19
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 468 and the new remainder 19, and apply the division lemma to get
468 = 19 x 24 + 12
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 12 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 7 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 5 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 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 955 and 487 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(7,5) = HCF(12,7) = HCF(19,12) = HCF(468,19) = HCF(487,468) = HCF(955,487) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 628 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 628 and 1, to get
628 = 1 x 628 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 628 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(628,1) .
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 955, 487, 628?
Answer: HCF of 955, 487, 628 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 955, 487, 628 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 955, 487, 628 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
