HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 484, 132, 810 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 484, 132, 810 is 2 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 484, 132, 810 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 484, 132, 810 is 2.
HCF(484, 132, 810) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 484, 132, 810 is 2.
Step 1: Since 484 > 132, we apply the division lemma to 484 and 132, to get
484 = 132 x 3 + 88
Step 2: Since the reminder 132 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 88 and 132, to get
132 = 88 x 1 + 44
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 88 and the new remainder 44, and apply the division lemma to get
88 = 44 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 44, the HCF of 484 and 132 is 44
Notice that 44 = HCF(88,44) = HCF(132,88) = HCF(484,132) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 810 > 44, we apply the division lemma to 810 and 44, to get
810 = 44 x 18 + 18
Step 2: Since the reminder 44 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 18 and 44, to get
44 = 18 x 2 + 8
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 8, and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 8 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 2, and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 2 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 44 and 810 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(8,2) = HCF(18,8) = HCF(44,18) = HCF(810,44) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
