HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 593, 803, 624, 472 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 593, 803, 624, 472 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 593, 803, 624, 472 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 593, 803, 624, 472 is 1.
HCF(593, 803, 624, 472) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 593, 803, 624, 472 is 1.
Step 1: Since 803 > 593, we apply the division lemma to 803 and 593, to get
803 = 593 x 1 + 210
Step 2: Since the reminder 593 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 210 and 593, to get
593 = 210 x 2 + 173
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 210 and the new remainder 173, and apply the division lemma to get
210 = 173 x 1 + 37
We consider the new divisor 173 and the new remainder 37,and apply the division lemma to get
173 = 37 x 4 + 25
We consider the new divisor 37 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
37 = 25 x 1 + 12
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 593 and 803 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(12,1) = HCF(25,12) = HCF(37,25) = HCF(173,37) = HCF(210,173) = HCF(593,210) = HCF(803,593) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 624 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 624 and 1, to get
624 = 1 x 624 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 624 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(624,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 472 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 472 and 1, to get
472 = 1 x 472 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 472 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(472,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
