HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 417, 907, 358, 430 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 417, 907, 358, 430 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 417, 907, 358, 430 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 417, 907, 358, 430 is 1.
HCF(417, 907, 358, 430) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 417, 907, 358, 430 is 1.
Step 1: Since 907 > 417, we apply the division lemma to 907 and 417, to get
907 = 417 x 2 + 73
Step 2: Since the reminder 417 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 73 and 417, to get
417 = 73 x 5 + 52
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 73 and the new remainder 52, and apply the division lemma to get
73 = 52 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 52 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
52 = 21 x 2 + 10
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 10 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 1 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 417 and 907 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(21,10) = HCF(52,21) = HCF(73,52) = HCF(417,73) = HCF(907,417) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 358 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 358 and 1, to get
358 = 1 x 358 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 358 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(358,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 430 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 430 and 1, to get
430 = 1 x 430 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 430 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(430,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
