HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 454, 548, 869, 882 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 454, 548, 869, 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 454, 548, 869, 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 454, 548, 869, 882 is 1.
HCF(454, 548, 869, 882) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 454, 548, 869, 882 is 1.
Step 1: Since 548 > 454, we apply the division lemma to 548 and 454, to get
548 = 454 x 1 + 94
Step 2: Since the reminder 454 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 94 and 454, to get
454 = 94 x 4 + 78
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 94 and the new remainder 78, and apply the division lemma to get
94 = 78 x 1 + 16
We consider the new divisor 78 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
78 = 16 x 4 + 14
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 14 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 2 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 454 and 548 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(14,2) = HCF(16,14) = HCF(78,16) = HCF(94,78) = HCF(454,94) = HCF(548,454) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 869 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 869 and 2, to get
869 = 2 x 434 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2 and 869 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(869,2) .
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.
