HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 529, 714, 328, 355 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 529, 714, 328, 355 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 529, 714, 328, 355 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 529, 714, 328, 355 is 1.
HCF(529, 714, 328, 355) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 529, 714, 328, 355 is 1.
Step 1: Since 714 > 529, we apply the division lemma to 714 and 529, to get
714 = 529 x 1 + 185
Step 2: Since the reminder 529 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 185 and 529, to get
529 = 185 x 2 + 159
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 185 and the new remainder 159, and apply the division lemma to get
185 = 159 x 1 + 26
We consider the new divisor 159 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
159 = 26 x 6 + 3
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 3 x 8 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma 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 529 and 714 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(26,3) = HCF(159,26) = HCF(185,159) = HCF(529,185) = HCF(714,529) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 328 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 328 and 1, to get
328 = 1 x 328 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 328 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(328,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 355 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 355 and 1, to get
355 = 1 x 355 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 355 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(355,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
