HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 769, 558, 419, 708 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 769, 558, 419, 708 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 769, 558, 419, 708 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 769, 558, 419, 708 is 1.
HCF(769, 558, 419, 708) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 769, 558, 419, 708 is 1.
Step 1: Since 769 > 558, we apply the division lemma to 769 and 558, to get
769 = 558 x 1 + 211
Step 2: Since the reminder 558 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 211 and 558, to get
558 = 211 x 2 + 136
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 211 and the new remainder 136, and apply the division lemma to get
211 = 136 x 1 + 75
We consider the new divisor 136 and the new remainder 75,and apply the division lemma to get
136 = 75 x 1 + 61
We consider the new divisor 75 and the new remainder 61,and apply the division lemma to get
75 = 61 x 1 + 14
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 14 x 4 + 5
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 5 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 769 and 558 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(14,5) = HCF(61,14) = HCF(75,61) = HCF(136,75) = HCF(211,136) = HCF(558,211) = HCF(769,558) .
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) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 708 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 708 and 1, to get
708 = 1 x 708 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 708 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(708,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
