HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 753, 613, 203, 186 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 753, 613, 203, 186 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 753, 613, 203, 186 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 753, 613, 203, 186 is 1.
HCF(753, 613, 203, 186) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 753, 613, 203, 186 is 1.
Step 1: Since 753 > 613, we apply the division lemma to 753 and 613, to get
753 = 613 x 1 + 140
Step 2: Since the reminder 613 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 140 and 613, to get
613 = 140 x 4 + 53
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 140 and the new remainder 53, and apply the division lemma to get
140 = 53 x 2 + 34
We consider the new divisor 53 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
53 = 34 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 19 x 1 + 15
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 15 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 4 x 3 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma 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 753 and 613 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(15,4) = HCF(19,15) = HCF(34,19) = HCF(53,34) = HCF(140,53) = HCF(613,140) = HCF(753,613) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 203 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 203 and 1, to get
203 = 1 x 203 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 203 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(203,1) .
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) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
