HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 348, 442, 790, 289 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 348, 442, 790, 289 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 348, 442, 790, 289 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 348, 442, 790, 289 is 1.
HCF(348, 442, 790, 289) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 348, 442, 790, 289 is 1.
Step 1: Since 442 > 348, we apply the division lemma to 442 and 348, to get
442 = 348 x 1 + 94
Step 2: Since the reminder 348 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 94 and 348, to get
348 = 94 x 3 + 66
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 94 and the new remainder 66, and apply the division lemma to get
94 = 66 x 1 + 28
We consider the new divisor 66 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
66 = 28 x 2 + 10
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 10 x 2 + 8
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 8 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 2 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 348 and 442 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(8,2) = HCF(10,8) = HCF(28,10) = HCF(66,28) = HCF(94,66) = HCF(348,94) = HCF(442,348) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 790 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 790 and 2, to get
790 = 2 x 395 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 2 and 790 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(790,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 289 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 289 and 2, to get
289 = 2 x 144 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2 and 289 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(289,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
