HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 833, 314, 151, 809 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 833, 314, 151, 809 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 833, 314, 151, 809 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 833, 314, 151, 809 is 1.
HCF(833, 314, 151, 809) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 833, 314, 151, 809 is 1.
Step 1: Since 833 > 314, we apply the division lemma to 833 and 314, to get
833 = 314 x 2 + 205
Step 2: Since the reminder 314 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 205 and 314, to get
314 = 205 x 1 + 109
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 205 and the new remainder 109, and apply the division lemma to get
205 = 109 x 1 + 96
We consider the new divisor 109 and the new remainder 96,and apply the division lemma to get
109 = 96 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 96 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
96 = 13 x 7 + 5
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 5 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 833 and 314 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(13,5) = HCF(96,13) = HCF(109,96) = HCF(205,109) = HCF(314,205) = HCF(833,314) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 151 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 151 and 1, to get
151 = 1 x 151 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 151 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(151,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 809 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 809 and 1, to get
809 = 1 x 809 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 809 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(809,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
