HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 566, 994, 283, 62 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 566, 994, 283, 62 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 566, 994, 283, 62 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 566, 994, 283, 62 is 1.
HCF(566, 994, 283, 62) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 566, 994, 283, 62 is 1.
Step 1: Since 994 > 566, we apply the division lemma to 994 and 566, to get
994 = 566 x 1 + 428
Step 2: Since the reminder 566 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 428 and 566, to get
566 = 428 x 1 + 138
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 428 and the new remainder 138, and apply the division lemma to get
428 = 138 x 3 + 14
We consider the new divisor 138 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
138 = 14 x 9 + 12
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 12 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 2 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 566 and 994 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(12,2) = HCF(14,12) = HCF(138,14) = HCF(428,138) = HCF(566,428) = HCF(994,566) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 283 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 283 and 2, to get
283 = 2 x 141 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, 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 2 and 283 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(283,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 62 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 62 and 1, to get
62 = 1 x 62 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 62 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(62,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
