HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 351, 597, 386, 46 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 351, 597, 386, 46 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 351, 597, 386, 46 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 351, 597, 386, 46 is 1.
HCF(351, 597, 386, 46) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 351, 597, 386, 46 is 1.
Step 1: Since 597 > 351, we apply the division lemma to 597 and 351, to get
597 = 351 x 1 + 246
Step 2: Since the reminder 351 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 246 and 351, to get
351 = 246 x 1 + 105
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 246 and the new remainder 105, and apply the division lemma to get
246 = 105 x 2 + 36
We consider the new divisor 105 and the new remainder 36,and apply the division lemma to get
105 = 36 x 2 + 33
We consider the new divisor 36 and the new remainder 33,and apply the division lemma to get
36 = 33 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 3 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 351 and 597 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(33,3) = HCF(36,33) = HCF(105,36) = HCF(246,105) = HCF(351,246) = HCF(597,351) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 386 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 386 and 3, to get
386 = 3 x 128 + 2
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2 and 3, to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma 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 3 and 386 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(386,3) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 46 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 46 and 1, to get
46 = 1 x 46 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 46 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(46,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
