HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 967, 701, 385 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 967, 701, 385 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 967, 701, 385 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 967, 701, 385 is 1.
HCF(967, 701, 385) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 967, 701, 385 is 1.
Step 1: Since 967 > 701, we apply the division lemma to 967 and 701, to get
967 = 701 x 1 + 266
Step 2: Since the reminder 701 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 266 and 701, to get
701 = 266 x 2 + 169
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 266 and the new remainder 169, and apply the division lemma to get
266 = 169 x 1 + 97
We consider the new divisor 169 and the new remainder 97,and apply the division lemma to get
169 = 97 x 1 + 72
We consider the new divisor 97 and the new remainder 72,and apply the division lemma to get
97 = 72 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 72 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
72 = 25 x 2 + 22
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 22 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 3 x 7 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 967 and 701 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(22,3) = HCF(25,22) = HCF(72,25) = HCF(97,72) = HCF(169,97) = HCF(266,169) = HCF(701,266) = HCF(967,701) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 385 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 385 and 1, to get
385 = 1 x 385 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 385 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(385,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
