HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 583, 924, 88, 874 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 583, 924, 88, 874 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, 924, 88, 874 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, 924, 88, 874 is 1.
HCF(583, 924, 88, 874) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 583, 924, 88, 874 is 1.
Step 1: Since 924 > 583, we apply the division lemma to 924 and 583, to get
924 = 583 x 1 + 341
Step 2: Since the reminder 583 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 341 and 583, to get
583 = 341 x 1 + 242
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 341 and the new remainder 242, and apply the division lemma to get
341 = 242 x 1 + 99
We consider the new divisor 242 and the new remainder 99,and apply the division lemma to get
242 = 99 x 2 + 44
We consider the new divisor 99 and the new remainder 44,and apply the division lemma to get
99 = 44 x 2 + 11
We consider the new divisor 44 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
44 = 11 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 11, the HCF of 583 and 924 is 11
Notice that 11 = HCF(44,11) = HCF(99,44) = HCF(242,99) = HCF(341,242) = HCF(583,341) = HCF(924,583) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 88 > 11, we apply the division lemma to 88 and 11, to get
88 = 11 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 11, the HCF of 11 and 88 is 11
Notice that 11 = HCF(88,11) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 874 > 11, we apply the division lemma to 874 and 11, to get
874 = 11 x 79 + 5
Step 2: Since the reminder 11 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 5 and 11, to get
11 = 5 x 2 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 11 and 874 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(11,5) = HCF(874,11) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
