HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 626, 864, 544, 563 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 626, 864, 544, 563 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 626, 864, 544, 563 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 626, 864, 544, 563 is 1.
HCF(626, 864, 544, 563) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 626, 864, 544, 563 is 1.
Step 1: Since 864 > 626, we apply the division lemma to 864 and 626, to get
864 = 626 x 1 + 238
Step 2: Since the reminder 626 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 238 and 626, to get
626 = 238 x 2 + 150
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 238 and the new remainder 150, and apply the division lemma to get
238 = 150 x 1 + 88
We consider the new divisor 150 and the new remainder 88,and apply the division lemma to get
150 = 88 x 1 + 62
We consider the new divisor 88 and the new remainder 62,and apply the division lemma to get
88 = 62 x 1 + 26
We consider the new divisor 62 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
62 = 26 x 2 + 10
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 10 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 6 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 4 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 626 and 864 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(6,4) = HCF(10,6) = HCF(26,10) = HCF(62,26) = HCF(88,62) = HCF(150,88) = HCF(238,150) = HCF(626,238) = HCF(864,626) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 544 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 544 and 2, to get
544 = 2 x 272 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 2 and 544 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(544,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 563 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 563 and 2, to get
563 = 2 x 281 + 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 563 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(563,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
