HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 411, 872, 407, 26 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 411, 872, 407, 26 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 411, 872, 407, 26 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 411, 872, 407, 26 is 1.
HCF(411, 872, 407, 26) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 411, 872, 407, 26 is 1.
Step 1: Since 872 > 411, we apply the division lemma to 872 and 411, to get
872 = 411 x 2 + 50
Step 2: Since the reminder 411 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 50 and 411, to get
411 = 50 x 8 + 11
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 50 and the new remainder 11, and apply the division lemma to get
50 = 11 x 4 + 6
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 6 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 5 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 411 and 872 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(6,5) = HCF(11,6) = HCF(50,11) = HCF(411,50) = HCF(872,411) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 407 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 407 and 1, to get
407 = 1 x 407 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 407 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(407,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 26 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 26 and 1, to get
26 = 1 x 26 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 26 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(26,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
