HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 382, 871, 881, 183 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 382, 871, 881, 183 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 382, 871, 881, 183 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 382, 871, 881, 183 is 1.
HCF(382, 871, 881, 183) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 382, 871, 881, 183 is 1.
Step 1: Since 871 > 382, we apply the division lemma to 871 and 382, to get
871 = 382 x 2 + 107
Step 2: Since the reminder 382 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 107 and 382, to get
382 = 107 x 3 + 61
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 107 and the new remainder 61, and apply the division lemma to get
107 = 61 x 1 + 46
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 46,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 46 x 1 + 15
We consider the new divisor 46 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
46 = 15 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 1 x 15 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 382 and 871 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(15,1) = HCF(46,15) = HCF(61,46) = HCF(107,61) = HCF(382,107) = HCF(871,382) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 881 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 881 and 1, to get
881 = 1 x 881 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 881 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(881,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 183 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 183 and 1, to get
183 = 1 x 183 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 183 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(183,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
