HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 153, 154, 318, 455 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 153, 154, 318, 455 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 153, 154, 318, 455 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 153, 154, 318, 455 is 1.
HCF(153, 154, 318, 455) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 153, 154, 318, 455 is 1.
Step 1: Since 154 > 153, we apply the division lemma to 154 and 153, to get
154 = 153 x 1 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 153 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 153, to get
153 = 1 x 153 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 153 and 154 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(153,1) = HCF(154,153) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 318 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 318 and 1, to get
318 = 1 x 318 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 318 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(318,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 455 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 455 and 1, to get
455 = 1 x 455 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 455 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(455,1) .
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 153, 154, 318, 455?
Answer: HCF of 153, 154, 318, 455 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 153, 154, 318, 455 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 153, 154, 318, 455 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
