HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 264, 690, 67, 214 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 264, 690, 67, 214 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 264, 690, 67, 214 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 264, 690, 67, 214 is 1.
HCF(264, 690, 67, 214) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 264, 690, 67, 214 is 1.
Step 1: Since 690 > 264, we apply the division lemma to 690 and 264, to get
690 = 264 x 2 + 162
Step 2: Since the reminder 264 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 162 and 264, to get
264 = 162 x 1 + 102
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 162 and the new remainder 102, and apply the division lemma to get
162 = 102 x 1 + 60
We consider the new divisor 102 and the new remainder 60,and apply the division lemma to get
102 = 60 x 1 + 42
We consider the new divisor 60 and the new remainder 42,and apply the division lemma to get
60 = 42 x 1 + 18
We consider the new divisor 42 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
42 = 18 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 6 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 6, the HCF of 264 and 690 is 6
Notice that 6 = HCF(18,6) = HCF(42,18) = HCF(60,42) = HCF(102,60) = HCF(162,102) = HCF(264,162) = HCF(690,264) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 67 > 6, we apply the division lemma to 67 and 6, to get
67 = 6 x 11 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 6 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 6, to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6 and 67 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(67,6) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 214 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 214 and 1, to get
214 = 1 x 214 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 214 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(214,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
