HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 532, 912, 233, 93 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 532, 912, 233, 93 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 532, 912, 233, 93 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 532, 912, 233, 93 is 1.
HCF(532, 912, 233, 93) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 532, 912, 233, 93 is 1.
Step 1: Since 912 > 532, we apply the division lemma to 912 and 532, to get
912 = 532 x 1 + 380
Step 2: Since the reminder 532 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 380 and 532, to get
532 = 380 x 1 + 152
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 380 and the new remainder 152, and apply the division lemma to get
380 = 152 x 2 + 76
We consider the new divisor 152 and the new remainder 76, and apply the division lemma to get
152 = 76 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 76, the HCF of 532 and 912 is 76
Notice that 76 = HCF(152,76) = HCF(380,152) = HCF(532,380) = HCF(912,532) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 233 > 76, we apply the division lemma to 233 and 76, to get
233 = 76 x 3 + 5
Step 2: Since the reminder 76 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 5 and 76, to get
76 = 5 x 15 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 76 and 233 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(76,5) = HCF(233,76) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 93 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 93 and 1, to get
93 = 1 x 93 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 93 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(93,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
