HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 574, 343, 349, 98 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 574, 343, 349, 98 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 574, 343, 349, 98 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 574, 343, 349, 98 is 1.
HCF(574, 343, 349, 98) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 574, 343, 349, 98 is 1.
Step 1: Since 574 > 343, we apply the division lemma to 574 and 343, to get
574 = 343 x 1 + 231
Step 2: Since the reminder 343 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 231 and 343, to get
343 = 231 x 1 + 112
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 231 and the new remainder 112, and apply the division lemma to get
231 = 112 x 2 + 7
We consider the new divisor 112 and the new remainder 7, and apply the division lemma to get
112 = 7 x 16 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 7, the HCF of 574 and 343 is 7
Notice that 7 = HCF(112,7) = HCF(231,112) = HCF(343,231) = HCF(574,343) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 349 > 7, we apply the division lemma to 349 and 7, to get
349 = 7 x 49 + 6
Step 2: Since the reminder 7 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 6 and 7, to get
7 = 6 x 1 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 7 and 349 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(7,6) = HCF(349,7) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 98 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 98 and 1, to get
98 = 1 x 98 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 98 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(98,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
