HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 348, 443, 285, 877 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 348, 443, 285, 877 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, 443, 285, 877 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, 443, 285, 877 is 1.
HCF(348, 443, 285, 877) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 348, 443, 285, 877 is 1.
Step 1: Since 443 > 348, we apply the division lemma to 443 and 348, to get
443 = 348 x 1 + 95
Step 2: Since the reminder 348 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 95 and 348, to get
348 = 95 x 3 + 63
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 95 and the new remainder 63, and apply the division lemma to get
95 = 63 x 1 + 32
We consider the new divisor 63 and the new remainder 32,and apply the division lemma to get
63 = 32 x 1 + 31
We consider the new divisor 32 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
32 = 31 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 1 x 31 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 348 and 443 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(31,1) = HCF(32,31) = HCF(63,32) = HCF(95,63) = HCF(348,95) = HCF(443,348) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 285 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 285 and 1, to get
285 = 1 x 285 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 285 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(285,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 877 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 877 and 1, to get
877 = 1 x 877 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 877 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(877,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
