HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 603, 999, 350, 93 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 603, 999, 350, 93 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 603, 999, 350, 93 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 603, 999, 350, 93 is 1.
HCF(603, 999, 350, 93) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 603, 999, 350, 93 is 1.
Step 1: Since 999 > 603, we apply the division lemma to 999 and 603, to get
999 = 603 x 1 + 396
Step 2: Since the reminder 603 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 396 and 603, to get
603 = 396 x 1 + 207
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 396 and the new remainder 207, and apply the division lemma to get
396 = 207 x 1 + 189
We consider the new divisor 207 and the new remainder 189,and apply the division lemma to get
207 = 189 x 1 + 18
We consider the new divisor 189 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
189 = 18 x 10 + 9
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 9 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 9, the HCF of 603 and 999 is 9
Notice that 9 = HCF(18,9) = HCF(189,18) = HCF(207,189) = HCF(396,207) = HCF(603,396) = HCF(999,603) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 350 > 9, we apply the division lemma to 350 and 9, to get
350 = 9 x 38 + 8
Step 2: Since the reminder 9 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 8 and 9, to get
9 = 8 x 1 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 1 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 9 and 350 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(9,8) = HCF(350,9) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 93 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 93 and 1, to get
93 = 1 x 93 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 93 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(93,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
