HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 735, 159, 106, 94 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 735, 159, 106, 94 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 735, 159, 106, 94 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 735, 159, 106, 94 is 1.
HCF(735, 159, 106, 94) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 735, 159, 106, 94 is 1.
Step 1: Since 735 > 159, we apply the division lemma to 735 and 159, to get
735 = 159 x 4 + 99
Step 2: Since the reminder 159 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 99 and 159, to get
159 = 99 x 1 + 60
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 99 and the new remainder 60, and apply the division lemma to get
99 = 60 x 1 + 39
We consider the new divisor 60 and the new remainder 39,and apply the division lemma to get
60 = 39 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 39 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
39 = 21 x 1 + 18
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 18 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 3 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 735 and 159 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(18,3) = HCF(21,18) = HCF(39,21) = HCF(60,39) = HCF(99,60) = HCF(159,99) = HCF(735,159) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 106 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 106 and 3, to get
106 = 3 x 35 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 3, to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 3 and 106 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(106,3) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 94 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 94 and 1, to get
94 = 1 x 94 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 94 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(94,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
