HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 386, 519, 598, 882 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 386, 519, 598, 882 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 386, 519, 598, 882 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 386, 519, 598, 882 is 1.
HCF(386, 519, 598, 882) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 386, 519, 598, 882 is 1.
Step 1: Since 519 > 386, we apply the division lemma to 519 and 386, to get
519 = 386 x 1 + 133
Step 2: Since the reminder 386 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 133 and 386, to get
386 = 133 x 2 + 120
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 133 and the new remainder 120, and apply the division lemma to get
133 = 120 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 120 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
120 = 13 x 9 + 3
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 3 x 4 + 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 386 and 519 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(13,3) = HCF(120,13) = HCF(133,120) = HCF(386,133) = HCF(519,386) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 598 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 598 and 1, to get
598 = 1 x 598 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 598 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(598,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 882 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 882 and 1, to get
882 = 1 x 882 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 882 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(882,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
