HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 380, 437, 567, 919 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 380, 437, 567, 919 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 380, 437, 567, 919 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 380, 437, 567, 919 is 1.
HCF(380, 437, 567, 919) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 380, 437, 567, 919 is 1.
Step 1: Since 437 > 380, we apply the division lemma to 437 and 380, to get
437 = 380 x 1 + 57
Step 2: Since the reminder 380 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 57 and 380, to get
380 = 57 x 6 + 38
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 57 and the new remainder 38, and apply the division lemma to get
57 = 38 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 38 and the new remainder 19, and apply the division lemma to get
38 = 19 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 19, the HCF of 380 and 437 is 19
Notice that 19 = HCF(38,19) = HCF(57,38) = HCF(380,57) = HCF(437,380) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 567 > 19, we apply the division lemma to 567 and 19, to get
567 = 19 x 29 + 16
Step 2: Since the reminder 19 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 16 and 19, to get
19 = 16 x 1 + 3
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 3, and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 3 x 5 + 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 19 and 567 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(16,3) = HCF(19,16) = HCF(567,19) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 919 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 919 and 1, to get
919 = 1 x 919 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 919 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(919,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
