HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 887, 566, 219, 845 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 887, 566, 219, 845 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 887, 566, 219, 845 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 887, 566, 219, 845 is 1.
HCF(887, 566, 219, 845) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 887, 566, 219, 845 is 1.
Step 1: Since 887 > 566, we apply the division lemma to 887 and 566, to get
887 = 566 x 1 + 321
Step 2: Since the reminder 566 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 321 and 566, to get
566 = 321 x 1 + 245
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 321 and the new remainder 245, and apply the division lemma to get
321 = 245 x 1 + 76
We consider the new divisor 245 and the new remainder 76,and apply the division lemma to get
245 = 76 x 3 + 17
We consider the new divisor 76 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
76 = 17 x 4 + 8
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 8 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 1 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 887 and 566 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(17,8) = HCF(76,17) = HCF(245,76) = HCF(321,245) = HCF(566,321) = HCF(887,566) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 219 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 219 and 1, to get
219 = 1 x 219 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 219 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(219,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 845 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 845 and 1, to get
845 = 1 x 845 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 845 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(845,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
