HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 489, 926, 219 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 489, 926, 219 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 489, 926, 219 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 489, 926, 219 is 1.
HCF(489, 926, 219) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 489, 926, 219 is 1.
Step 1: Since 926 > 489, we apply the division lemma to 926 and 489, to get
926 = 489 x 1 + 437
Step 2: Since the reminder 489 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 437 and 489, to get
489 = 437 x 1 + 52
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 437 and the new remainder 52, and apply the division lemma to get
437 = 52 x 8 + 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 489 and 926 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(21,10) = HCF(52,21) = HCF(437,52) = HCF(489,437) = HCF(926,489) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 219 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 219 and 1, to get
219 = 1 x 219 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 219 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(219,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
