HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 121, 918, 482, 545 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 121, 918, 482, 545 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 121, 918, 482, 545 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 121, 918, 482, 545 is 1.
HCF(121, 918, 482, 545) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 121, 918, 482, 545 is 1.
Step 1: Since 918 > 121, we apply the division lemma to 918 and 121, to get
918 = 121 x 7 + 71
Step 2: Since the reminder 121 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 71 and 121, to get
121 = 71 x 1 + 50
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 71 and the new remainder 50, and apply the division lemma to get
71 = 50 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 50 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
50 = 21 x 2 + 8
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 8 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 5 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 121 and 918 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(8,5) = HCF(21,8) = HCF(50,21) = HCF(71,50) = HCF(121,71) = HCF(918,121) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 482 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 482 and 1, to get
482 = 1 x 482 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 482 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(482,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 545 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 545 and 1, to get
545 = 1 x 545 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 545 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(545,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
