HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 706, 992, 369, 484 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 706, 992, 369, 484 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 706, 992, 369, 484 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 706, 992, 369, 484 is 1.
HCF(706, 992, 369, 484) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 706, 992, 369, 484 is 1.
Step 1: Since 992 > 706, we apply the division lemma to 992 and 706, to get
992 = 706 x 1 + 286
Step 2: Since the reminder 706 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 286 and 706, to get
706 = 286 x 2 + 134
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 286 and the new remainder 134, and apply the division lemma to get
286 = 134 x 2 + 18
We consider the new divisor 134 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
134 = 18 x 7 + 8
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 8 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 2 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 706 and 992 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(8,2) = HCF(18,8) = HCF(134,18) = HCF(286,134) = HCF(706,286) = HCF(992,706) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 369 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 369 and 2, to get
369 = 2 x 184 + 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 369 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(369,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 484 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 484 and 1, to get
484 = 1 x 484 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 484 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(484,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
