HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 219, 962, 376 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 219, 962, 376 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, 962, 376 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, 962, 376 is 1.
HCF(219, 962, 376) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 219, 962, 376 is 1.
Step 1: Since 962 > 219, we apply the division lemma to 962 and 219, to get
962 = 219 x 4 + 86
Step 2: Since the reminder 219 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 86 and 219, to get
219 = 86 x 2 + 47
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 86 and the new remainder 47, and apply the division lemma to get
86 = 47 x 1 + 39
We consider the new divisor 47 and the new remainder 39,and apply the division lemma to get
47 = 39 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 39 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
39 = 8 x 4 + 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 219 and 962 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(8,7) = HCF(39,8) = HCF(47,39) = HCF(86,47) = HCF(219,86) = HCF(962,219) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 376 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 376 and 1, to get
376 = 1 x 376 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 376 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(376,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
