HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 328, 844, 933, 307 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 328, 844, 933, 307 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 328, 844, 933, 307 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 328, 844, 933, 307 is 1.
HCF(328, 844, 933, 307) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 328, 844, 933, 307 is 1.
Step 1: Since 844 > 328, we apply the division lemma to 844 and 328, to get
844 = 328 x 2 + 188
Step 2: Since the reminder 328 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 188 and 328, to get
328 = 188 x 1 + 140
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 188 and the new remainder 140, and apply the division lemma to get
188 = 140 x 1 + 48
We consider the new divisor 140 and the new remainder 48,and apply the division lemma to get
140 = 48 x 2 + 44
We consider the new divisor 48 and the new remainder 44,and apply the division lemma to get
48 = 44 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 44 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
44 = 4 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 4, the HCF of 328 and 844 is 4
Notice that 4 = HCF(44,4) = HCF(48,44) = HCF(140,48) = HCF(188,140) = HCF(328,188) = HCF(844,328) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 933 > 4, we apply the division lemma to 933 and 4, to get
933 = 4 x 233 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 4 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 4, to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4 and 933 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(933,4) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 307 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 307 and 1, to get
307 = 1 x 307 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 307 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(307,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
