HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 398, 88163 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 398, 88163 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 398, 88163 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 398, 88163 is 1.
HCF(398, 88163) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 398, 88163 is 1.
Step 1: Since 88163 > 398, we apply the division lemma to 88163 and 398, to get
88163 = 398 x 221 + 205
Step 2: Since the reminder 398 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 205 and 398, to get
398 = 205 x 1 + 193
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 205 and the new remainder 193, and apply the division lemma to get
205 = 193 x 1 + 12
We consider the new divisor 193 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
193 = 12 x 16 + 1
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 1 x 12 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 398 and 88163 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(12,1) = HCF(193,12) = HCF(205,193) = HCF(398,205) = HCF(88163,398) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
