HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 150, 261, 385, 662 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 150, 261, 385, 662 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 150, 261, 385, 662 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 150, 261, 385, 662 is 1.
HCF(150, 261, 385, 662) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 150, 261, 385, 662 is 1.
Step 1: Since 261 > 150, we apply the division lemma to 261 and 150, to get
261 = 150 x 1 + 111
Step 2: Since the reminder 150 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 111 and 150, to get
150 = 111 x 1 + 39
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 111 and the new remainder 39, and apply the division lemma to get
111 = 39 x 2 + 33
We consider the new divisor 39 and the new remainder 33,and apply the division lemma to get
39 = 33 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 6 x 5 + 3
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 3 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 150 and 261 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(6,3) = HCF(33,6) = HCF(39,33) = HCF(111,39) = HCF(150,111) = HCF(261,150) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 385 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 385 and 3, to get
385 = 3 x 128 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 3, 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 3 and 385 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(385,3) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 662 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 662 and 1, to get
662 = 1 x 662 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 662 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(662,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
