HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 630, 854, 767, 125 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 630, 854, 767, 125 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 630, 854, 767, 125 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 630, 854, 767, 125 is 1.
HCF(630, 854, 767, 125) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 630, 854, 767, 125 is 1.
Step 1: Since 854 > 630, we apply the division lemma to 854 and 630, to get
854 = 630 x 1 + 224
Step 2: Since the reminder 630 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 224 and 630, to get
630 = 224 x 2 + 182
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 224 and the new remainder 182, and apply the division lemma to get
224 = 182 x 1 + 42
We consider the new divisor 182 and the new remainder 42,and apply the division lemma to get
182 = 42 x 4 + 14
We consider the new divisor 42 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
42 = 14 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 14, the HCF of 630 and 854 is 14
Notice that 14 = HCF(42,14) = HCF(182,42) = HCF(224,182) = HCF(630,224) = HCF(854,630) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 767 > 14, we apply the division lemma to 767 and 14, to get
767 = 14 x 54 + 11
Step 2: Since the reminder 14 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 11 and 14, to get
14 = 11 x 1 + 3
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 3, and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 3 x 3 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma 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 14 and 767 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(11,3) = HCF(14,11) = HCF(767,14) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 125 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 125 and 1, to get
125 = 1 x 125 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 125 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(125,1) .
