HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 302, 499, 571, 558 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 302, 499, 571, 558 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 302, 499, 571, 558 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 302, 499, 571, 558 is 1.
HCF(302, 499, 571, 558) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 302, 499, 571, 558 is 1.
Step 1: Since 499 > 302, we apply the division lemma to 499 and 302, to get
499 = 302 x 1 + 197
Step 2: Since the reminder 302 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 197 and 302, to get
302 = 197 x 1 + 105
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 197 and the new remainder 105, and apply the division lemma to get
197 = 105 x 1 + 92
We consider the new divisor 105 and the new remainder 92,and apply the division lemma to get
105 = 92 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 92 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
92 = 13 x 7 + 1
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 1 x 13 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 302 and 499 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(13,1) = HCF(92,13) = HCF(105,92) = HCF(197,105) = HCF(302,197) = HCF(499,302) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 571 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 571 and 1, to get
571 = 1 x 571 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 571 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(571,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 558 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 558 and 1, to get
558 = 1 x 558 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 558 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(558,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
