HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 586, 187, 91, 910 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 586, 187, 91, 910 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 586, 187, 91, 910 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 586, 187, 91, 910 is 1.
HCF(586, 187, 91, 910) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 586, 187, 91, 910 is 1.
Step 1: Since 586 > 187, we apply the division lemma to 586 and 187, to get
586 = 187 x 3 + 25
Step 2: Since the reminder 187 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 25 and 187, to get
187 = 25 x 7 + 12
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 12, and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 12 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 1 x 12 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 586 and 187 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(12,1) = HCF(25,12) = HCF(187,25) = HCF(586,187) .
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 910 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 910 and 1, to get
910 = 1 x 910 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 910 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(910,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
