HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 594, 844, 217 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 594, 844, 217 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 594, 844, 217 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 594, 844, 217 is 1.
HCF(594, 844, 217) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 594, 844, 217 is 1.
Step 1: Since 844 > 594, we apply the division lemma to 844 and 594, to get
844 = 594 x 1 + 250
Step 2: Since the reminder 594 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 250 and 594, to get
594 = 250 x 2 + 94
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 250 and the new remainder 94, and apply the division lemma to get
250 = 94 x 2 + 62
We consider the new divisor 94 and the new remainder 62,and apply the division lemma to get
94 = 62 x 1 + 32
We consider the new divisor 62 and the new remainder 32,and apply the division lemma to get
62 = 32 x 1 + 30
We consider the new divisor 32 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
32 = 30 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 2 x 15 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 594 and 844 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(30,2) = HCF(32,30) = HCF(62,32) = HCF(94,62) = HCF(250,94) = HCF(594,250) = HCF(844,594) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 217 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 217 and 2, to get
217 = 2 x 108 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2 and 217 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(217,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
