HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 574, 881, 387, 519 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 574, 881, 387, 519 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, 881, 387, 519 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, 881, 387, 519 is 1.
HCF(574, 881, 387, 519) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 574, 881, 387, 519 is 1.
Step 1: Since 881 > 574, we apply the division lemma to 881 and 574, to get
881 = 574 x 1 + 307
Step 2: Since the reminder 574 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 307 and 574, to get
574 = 307 x 1 + 267
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 307 and the new remainder 267, and apply the division lemma to get
307 = 267 x 1 + 40
We consider the new divisor 267 and the new remainder 40,and apply the division lemma to get
267 = 40 x 6 + 27
We consider the new divisor 40 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
40 = 27 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 13 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 1 x 13 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 574 and 881 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(13,1) = HCF(27,13) = HCF(40,27) = HCF(267,40) = HCF(307,267) = HCF(574,307) = HCF(881,574) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 387 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 387 and 1, to get
387 = 1 x 387 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 387 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(387,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 519 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 519 and 1, to get
519 = 1 x 519 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 519 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(519,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
