HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 219, 584, 134 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 219, 584, 134 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 219, 584, 134 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 219, 584, 134 is 1.
HCF(219, 584, 134) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 219, 584, 134 is 1.
Step 1: Since 584 > 219, we apply the division lemma to 584 and 219, to get
584 = 219 x 2 + 146
Step 2: Since the reminder 219 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 146 and 219, to get
219 = 146 x 1 + 73
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 146 and the new remainder 73, and apply the division lemma to get
146 = 73 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 73, the HCF of 219 and 584 is 73
Notice that 73 = HCF(146,73) = HCF(219,146) = HCF(584,219) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 134 > 73, we apply the division lemma to 134 and 73, to get
134 = 73 x 1 + 61
Step 2: Since the reminder 73 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 61 and 73, to get
73 = 61 x 1 + 12
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 12, and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 12 x 5 + 1
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 1 x 12 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 73 and 134 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(12,1) = HCF(61,12) = HCF(73,61) = HCF(134,73) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
