HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 699, 962, 356, 499 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 699, 962, 356, 499 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 699, 962, 356, 499 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 699, 962, 356, 499 is 1.
HCF(699, 962, 356, 499) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 699, 962, 356, 499 is 1.
Step 1: Since 962 > 699, we apply the division lemma to 962 and 699, to get
962 = 699 x 1 + 263
Step 2: Since the reminder 699 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 263 and 699, to get
699 = 263 x 2 + 173
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 263 and the new remainder 173, and apply the division lemma to get
263 = 173 x 1 + 90
We consider the new divisor 173 and the new remainder 90,and apply the division lemma to get
173 = 90 x 1 + 83
We consider the new divisor 90 and the new remainder 83,and apply the division lemma to get
90 = 83 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 83 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
83 = 7 x 11 + 6
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 6 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 699 and 962 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(7,6) = HCF(83,7) = HCF(90,83) = HCF(173,90) = HCF(263,173) = HCF(699,263) = HCF(962,699) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 356 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 356 and 1, to get
356 = 1 x 356 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 356 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(356,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 499 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 499 and 1, to get
499 = 1 x 499 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 499 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(499,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
