HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 711, 941, 186, 419 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 711, 941, 186, 419 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 711, 941, 186, 419 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 711, 941, 186, 419 is 1.
HCF(711, 941, 186, 419) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 711, 941, 186, 419 is 1.
Step 1: Since 941 > 711, we apply the division lemma to 941 and 711, to get
941 = 711 x 1 + 230
Step 2: Since the reminder 711 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 230 and 711, to get
711 = 230 x 3 + 21
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 230 and the new remainder 21, and apply the division lemma to get
230 = 21 x 10 + 20
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 20 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 1 x 20 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 711 and 941 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(20,1) = HCF(21,20) = HCF(230,21) = HCF(711,230) = HCF(941,711) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 186 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 186 and 1, to get
186 = 1 x 186 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 186 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(186,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 419 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 419 and 1, to get
419 = 1 x 419 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 419 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(419,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
