HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 24, 71, 63, 182 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 24, 71, 63, 182 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 24, 71, 63, 182 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 24, 71, 63, 182 is 1.
HCF(24, 71, 63, 182) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 24, 71, 63, 182 is 1.
Step 1: Since 71 > 24, we apply the division lemma to 71 and 24, to get
71 = 24 x 2 + 23
Step 2: Since the reminder 24 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 23 and 24, to get
24 = 23 x 1 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 1 x 23 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 24 and 71 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(23,1) = HCF(24,23) = HCF(71,24) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 63 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 63 and 1, to get
63 = 1 x 63 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 63 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(63,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 182 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 182 and 1, to get
182 = 1 x 182 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 182 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(182,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 24, 71, 63, 182?
Answer: HCF of 24, 71, 63, 182 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 24, 71, 63, 182 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 24, 71, 63, 182 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
