HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 218, 79337 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 218, 79337 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 218, 79337 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 218, 79337 is 1.
HCF(218, 79337) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 218, 79337 is 1.
Step 1: Since 79337 > 218, we apply the division lemma to 79337 and 218, to get
79337 = 218 x 363 + 203
Step 2: Since the reminder 218 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 203 and 218, to get
218 = 203 x 1 + 15
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 203 and the new remainder 15, and apply the division lemma to get
203 = 15 x 13 + 8
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 8 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 7 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 1 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 218 and 79337 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(8,7) = HCF(15,8) = HCF(203,15) = HCF(218,203) = HCF(79337,218) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
