HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 583, 104, 91, 346 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 583, 104, 91, 346 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 583, 104, 91, 346 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 583, 104, 91, 346 is 1.
HCF(583, 104, 91, 346) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 583, 104, 91, 346 is 1.
Step 1: Since 583 > 104, we apply the division lemma to 583 and 104, to get
583 = 104 x 5 + 63
Step 2: Since the reminder 104 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 63 and 104, to get
104 = 63 x 1 + 41
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 63 and the new remainder 41, and apply the division lemma to get
63 = 41 x 1 + 22
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 22 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 19 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 3 x 6 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 583 and 104 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(19,3) = HCF(22,19) = HCF(41,22) = HCF(63,41) = HCF(104,63) = HCF(583,104) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 91 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 91 and 1, to get
91 = 1 x 91 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 91 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(91,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 346 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 346 and 1, to get
346 = 1 x 346 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 346 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(346,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
