HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 809, 301, 34, 194 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 809, 301, 34, 194 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 809, 301, 34, 194 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 809, 301, 34, 194 is 1.
HCF(809, 301, 34, 194) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 809, 301, 34, 194 is 1.
Step 1: Since 809 > 301, we apply the division lemma to 809 and 301, to get
809 = 301 x 2 + 207
Step 2: Since the reminder 301 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 207 and 301, to get
301 = 207 x 1 + 94
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 207 and the new remainder 94, and apply the division lemma to get
207 = 94 x 2 + 19
We consider the new divisor 94 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
94 = 19 x 4 + 18
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 18 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 1 x 18 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 809 and 301 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(18,1) = HCF(19,18) = HCF(94,19) = HCF(207,94) = HCF(301,207) = HCF(809,301) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 34 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 34 and 1, to get
34 = 1 x 34 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 34 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(34,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 194 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 194 and 1, to get
194 = 1 x 194 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 194 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(194,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
