HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 230, 376, 357, 626 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 230, 376, 357, 626 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 230, 376, 357, 626 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 230, 376, 357, 626 is 1.
HCF(230, 376, 357, 626) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 230, 376, 357, 626 is 1.
Step 1: Since 376 > 230, we apply the division lemma to 376 and 230, to get
376 = 230 x 1 + 146
Step 2: Since the reminder 230 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 146 and 230, to get
230 = 146 x 1 + 84
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 146 and the new remainder 84, and apply the division lemma to get
146 = 84 x 1 + 62
We consider the new divisor 84 and the new remainder 62,and apply the division lemma to get
84 = 62 x 1 + 22
We consider the new divisor 62 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
62 = 22 x 2 + 18
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 18 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 4 x 4 + 2
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 230 and 376 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(18,4) = HCF(22,18) = HCF(62,22) = HCF(84,62) = HCF(146,84) = HCF(230,146) = HCF(376,230) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 357 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 357 and 2, to get
357 = 2 x 178 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2 and 357 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(357,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 626 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 626 and 1, to get
626 = 1 x 626 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 626 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(626,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
