HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 153, 92 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 153, 92 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, 92 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, 92 is 1.
HCF(153, 92) = 1
HCF of 153, 92 using Euclid's algorithm
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 153, 92 is 1.
Highest Common Factor of 153,92 is 1
Step 1: Since 153 > 92, we apply the division lemma to 153 and 92, to get
153 = 92 x 1 + 61
Step 2: Since the reminder 92 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 61 and 92, to get
92 = 61 x 1 + 31
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 31, and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 31 x 1 + 30
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 30 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 1 x 30 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 153 and 92 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(30,1) = HCF(31,30) = HCF(61,31) = HCF(92,61) = HCF(153,92) .
