HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 752, 481, 366, 63 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 752, 481, 366, 63 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 752, 481, 366, 63 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 752, 481, 366, 63 is 1.
HCF(752, 481, 366, 63) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 752, 481, 366, 63 is 1.
Step 1: Since 752 > 481, we apply the division lemma to 752 and 481, to get
752 = 481 x 1 + 271
Step 2: Since the reminder 481 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 271 and 481, to get
481 = 271 x 1 + 210
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 271 and the new remainder 210, and apply the division lemma to get
271 = 210 x 1 + 61
We consider the new divisor 210 and the new remainder 61,and apply the division lemma to get
210 = 61 x 3 + 27
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 27 x 2 + 7
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 7 x 3 + 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 752 and 481 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(7,6) = HCF(27,7) = HCF(61,27) = HCF(210,61) = HCF(271,210) = HCF(481,271) = HCF(752,481) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 366 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 366 and 1, to get
366 = 1 x 366 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 366 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(366,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 63 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 63 and 1, to get
63 = 1 x 63 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 63 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(63,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
