HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 119, 77, 285, 433 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 119, 77, 285, 433 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 119, 77, 285, 433 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 119, 77, 285, 433 is 1.
HCF(119, 77, 285, 433) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 119, 77, 285, 433 is 1.
Step 1: Since 119 > 77, we apply the division lemma to 119 and 77, to get
119 = 77 x 1 + 42
Step 2: Since the reminder 77 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 42 and 77, to get
77 = 42 x 1 + 35
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 42 and the new remainder 35, and apply the division lemma to get
42 = 35 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 35 and the new remainder 7, and apply the division lemma to get
35 = 7 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 7, the HCF of 119 and 77 is 7
Notice that 7 = HCF(35,7) = HCF(42,35) = HCF(77,42) = HCF(119,77) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 285 > 7, we apply the division lemma to 285 and 7, to get
285 = 7 x 40 + 5
Step 2: Since the reminder 7 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 5 and 7, to get
7 = 5 x 1 + 2
Step 3: 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 7 and 285 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(7,5) = HCF(285,7) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 433 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 433 and 1, to get
433 = 1 x 433 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 433 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(433,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
