HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 289, 307, 966, 865 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 289, 307, 966, 865 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 289, 307, 966, 865 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 289, 307, 966, 865 is 1.
HCF(289, 307, 966, 865) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 289, 307, 966, 865 is 1.
Step 1: Since 307 > 289, we apply the division lemma to 307 and 289, to get
307 = 289 x 1 + 18
Step 2: Since the reminder 289 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 18 and 289, to get
289 = 18 x 16 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 1 x 18 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 289 and 307 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(18,1) = HCF(289,18) = HCF(307,289) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 966 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 966 and 1, to get
966 = 1 x 966 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 966 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(966,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 865 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 865 and 1, to get
865 = 1 x 865 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 865 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(865,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
