HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 313, 209, 482 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 313, 209, 482 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 313, 209, 482 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 313, 209, 482 is 1.
HCF(313, 209, 482) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 313, 209, 482 is 1.
Step 1: Since 313 > 209, we apply the division lemma to 313 and 209, to get
313 = 209 x 1 + 104
Step 2: Since the reminder 209 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 104 and 209, to get
209 = 104 x 2 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 104 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
104 = 1 x 104 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 313 and 209 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(104,1) = HCF(209,104) = HCF(313,209) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 482 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 482 and 1, to get
482 = 1 x 482 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 482 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(482,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
