HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 805, 483, 698, 131 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 805, 483, 698, 131 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 805, 483, 698, 131 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 805, 483, 698, 131 is 1.
HCF(805, 483, 698, 131) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 805, 483, 698, 131 is 1.
Step 1: Since 805 > 483, we apply the division lemma to 805 and 483, to get
805 = 483 x 1 + 322
Step 2: Since the reminder 483 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 322 and 483, to get
483 = 322 x 1 + 161
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 322 and the new remainder 161, and apply the division lemma to get
322 = 161 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 161, the HCF of 805 and 483 is 161
Notice that 161 = HCF(322,161) = HCF(483,322) = HCF(805,483) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 698 > 161, we apply the division lemma to 698 and 161, to get
698 = 161 x 4 + 54
Step 2: Since the reminder 161 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 54 and 161, to get
161 = 54 x 2 + 53
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 54 and the new remainder 53, and apply the division lemma to get
54 = 53 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 53 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
53 = 1 x 53 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 161 and 698 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(53,1) = HCF(54,53) = HCF(161,54) = HCF(698,161) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 131 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 131 and 1, to get
131 = 1 x 131 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 131 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(131,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
