HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 488, 7219, 8307 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 488, 7219, 8307 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 488, 7219, 8307 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 488, 7219, 8307 is 1.
HCF(488, 7219, 8307) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 488, 7219, 8307 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7219 > 488, we apply the division lemma to 7219 and 488, to get
7219 = 488 x 14 + 387
Step 2: Since the reminder 488 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 387 and 488, to get
488 = 387 x 1 + 101
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 387 and the new remainder 101, and apply the division lemma to get
387 = 101 x 3 + 84
We consider the new divisor 101 and the new remainder 84,and apply the division lemma to get
101 = 84 x 1 + 17
We consider the new divisor 84 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
84 = 17 x 4 + 16
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 16 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 1 x 16 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 488 and 7219 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(16,1) = HCF(17,16) = HCF(84,17) = HCF(101,84) = HCF(387,101) = HCF(488,387) = HCF(7219,488) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 8307 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 8307 and 1, to get
8307 = 1 x 8307 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 8307 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8307,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
