HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 833, 355, 761, 84 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 833, 355, 761, 84 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, 355, 761, 84 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, 355, 761, 84 is 1.
HCF(833, 355, 761, 84) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 833, 355, 761, 84 is 1.
Step 1: Since 833 > 355, we apply the division lemma to 833 and 355, to get
833 = 355 x 2 + 123
Step 2: Since the reminder 355 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 123 and 355, to get
355 = 123 x 2 + 109
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 123 and the new remainder 109, and apply the division lemma to get
123 = 109 x 1 + 14
We consider the new divisor 109 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
109 = 14 x 7 + 11
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 11 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 3 x 3 + 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 355 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(11,3) = HCF(14,11) = HCF(109,14) = HCF(123,109) = HCF(355,123) = HCF(833,355) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 761 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 761 and 1, to get
761 = 1 x 761 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 761 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(761,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 84 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 84 and 1, to get
84 = 1 x 84 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 84 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(84,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
