HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 433, 928, 264, 389 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 433, 928, 264, 389 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 433, 928, 264, 389 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 433, 928, 264, 389 is 1.
HCF(433, 928, 264, 389) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 433, 928, 264, 389 is 1.
Step 1: Since 928 > 433, we apply the division lemma to 928 and 433, to get
928 = 433 x 2 + 62
Step 2: Since the reminder 433 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 62 and 433, to get
433 = 62 x 6 + 61
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 62 and the new remainder 61, and apply the division lemma to get
62 = 61 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 1 x 61 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 433 and 928 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(61,1) = HCF(62,61) = HCF(433,62) = HCF(928,433) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 264 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 264 and 1, to get
264 = 1 x 264 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 264 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(264,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 389 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 389 and 1, to get
389 = 1 x 389 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 389 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(389,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
