HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 369, 529, 110, 66 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 369, 529, 110, 66 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 369, 529, 110, 66 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 369, 529, 110, 66 is 1.
HCF(369, 529, 110, 66) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 369, 529, 110, 66 is 1.
Step 1: Since 529 > 369, we apply the division lemma to 529 and 369, to get
529 = 369 x 1 + 160
Step 2: Since the reminder 369 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 160 and 369, to get
369 = 160 x 2 + 49
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 160 and the new remainder 49, and apply the division lemma to get
160 = 49 x 3 + 13
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 13 x 3 + 10
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 10 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 3 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 369 and 529 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(10,3) = HCF(13,10) = HCF(49,13) = HCF(160,49) = HCF(369,160) = HCF(529,369) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 110 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 110 and 1, to get
110 = 1 x 110 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 110 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(110,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 66 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 66 and 1, to get
66 = 1 x 66 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 66 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(66,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
