HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 673, 914, 665, 45 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 673, 914, 665, 45 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 673, 914, 665, 45 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 673, 914, 665, 45 is 1.
HCF(673, 914, 665, 45) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 673, 914, 665, 45 is 1.
Step 1: Since 914 > 673, we apply the division lemma to 914 and 673, to get
914 = 673 x 1 + 241
Step 2: Since the reminder 673 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 241 and 673, to get
673 = 241 x 2 + 191
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 241 and the new remainder 191, and apply the division lemma to get
241 = 191 x 1 + 50
We consider the new divisor 191 and the new remainder 50,and apply the division lemma to get
191 = 50 x 3 + 41
We consider the new divisor 50 and the new remainder 41,and apply the division lemma to get
50 = 41 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 9 x 4 + 5
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 5 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 673 and 914 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(9,5) = HCF(41,9) = HCF(50,41) = HCF(191,50) = HCF(241,191) = HCF(673,241) = HCF(914,673) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 665 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 665 and 1, to get
665 = 1 x 665 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 665 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(665,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 45 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 45 and 1, to get
45 = 1 x 45 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 45 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(45,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
