HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 573, 813, 185, 32 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 573, 813, 185, 32 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 573, 813, 185, 32 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 573, 813, 185, 32 is 1.
HCF(573, 813, 185, 32) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 573, 813, 185, 32 is 1.
Step 1: Since 813 > 573, we apply the division lemma to 813 and 573, to get
813 = 573 x 1 + 240
Step 2: Since the reminder 573 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 240 and 573, to get
573 = 240 x 2 + 93
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 240 and the new remainder 93, and apply the division lemma to get
240 = 93 x 2 + 54
We consider the new divisor 93 and the new remainder 54,and apply the division lemma to get
93 = 54 x 1 + 39
We consider the new divisor 54 and the new remainder 39,and apply the division lemma to get
54 = 39 x 1 + 15
We consider the new divisor 39 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
39 = 15 x 2 + 9
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 9 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 6 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 3 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 573 and 813 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(6,3) = HCF(9,6) = HCF(15,9) = HCF(39,15) = HCF(54,39) = HCF(93,54) = HCF(240,93) = HCF(573,240) = HCF(813,573) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 185 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 185 and 3, to get
185 = 3 x 61 + 2
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2 and 3, to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
Step 3: 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 3 and 185 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(185,3) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 32 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 32 and 1, to get
32 = 1 x 32 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 32 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(32,1) .
