HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 90, 55, 111, 124 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 90, 55, 111, 124 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 90, 55, 111, 124 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 90, 55, 111, 124 is 1.
HCF(90, 55, 111, 124) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 90, 55, 111, 124 is 1.
Step 1: Since 90 > 55, we apply the division lemma to 90 and 55, to get
90 = 55 x 1 + 35
Step 2: Since the reminder 55 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 35 and 55, to get
55 = 35 x 1 + 20
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 35 and the new remainder 20, and apply the division lemma to get
35 = 20 x 1 + 15
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 15 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 5 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 90 and 55 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(15,5) = HCF(20,15) = HCF(35,20) = HCF(55,35) = HCF(90,55) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 111 > 5, we apply the division lemma to 111 and 5, to get
111 = 5 x 22 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 5 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 5, to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5 and 111 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(111,5) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 124 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 124 and 1, to get
124 = 1 x 124 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 124 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(124,1) .
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 90, 55, 111, 124?
Answer: HCF of 90, 55, 111, 124 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 90, 55, 111, 124 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 90, 55, 111, 124 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
