HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 598, 133, 367, 455 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 598, 133, 367, 455 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 598, 133, 367, 455 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 598, 133, 367, 455 is 1.
HCF(598, 133, 367, 455) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 598, 133, 367, 455 is 1.
Step 1: Since 598 > 133, we apply the division lemma to 598 and 133, to get
598 = 133 x 4 + 66
Step 2: Since the reminder 133 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 66 and 133, to get
133 = 66 x 2 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 66 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
66 = 1 x 66 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 598 and 133 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(66,1) = HCF(133,66) = HCF(598,133) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 367 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 367 and 1, to get
367 = 1 x 367 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 367 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(367,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 455 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 455 and 1, to get
455 = 1 x 455 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 455 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(455,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
