HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 263, 525, 568, 51 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 263, 525, 568, 51 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 263, 525, 568, 51 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 263, 525, 568, 51 is 1.
HCF(263, 525, 568, 51) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 263, 525, 568, 51 is 1.
Step 1: Since 525 > 263, we apply the division lemma to 525 and 263, to get
525 = 263 x 1 + 262
Step 2: Since the reminder 263 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 262 and 263, to get
263 = 262 x 1 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 262 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
262 = 1 x 262 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 263 and 525 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(262,1) = HCF(263,262) = HCF(525,263) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 568 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 568 and 1, to get
568 = 1 x 568 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 568 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(568,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 51 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 51 and 1, to get
51 = 1 x 51 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 51 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(51,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
