HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 85, 93, 36, 433 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 85, 93, 36, 433 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 85, 93, 36, 433 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 85, 93, 36, 433 is 1.
HCF(85, 93, 36, 433) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 85, 93, 36, 433 is 1.
Step 1: Since 93 > 85, we apply the division lemma to 93 and 85, to get
93 = 85 x 1 + 8
Step 2: Since the reminder 85 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 8 and 85, to get
85 = 8 x 10 + 5
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 5, and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 5 x 1 + 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 85 and 93 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(8,5) = HCF(85,8) = HCF(93,85) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 36 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 36 and 1, to get
36 = 1 x 36 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 36 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(36,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 433 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 433 and 1, to get
433 = 1 x 433 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 433 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(433,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 85, 93, 36, 433?
Answer: HCF of 85, 93, 36, 433 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 85, 93, 36, 433 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 85, 93, 36, 433 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
