HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 900, 810, 964, 133 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 900, 810, 964, 133 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 900, 810, 964, 133 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 900, 810, 964, 133 is 1.
HCF(900, 810, 964, 133) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 900, 810, 964, 133 is 1.
Step 1: Since 900 > 810, we apply the division lemma to 900 and 810, to get
900 = 810 x 1 + 90
Step 2: Since the reminder 810 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 90 and 810, to get
810 = 90 x 9 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 90, the HCF of 900 and 810 is 90
Notice that 90 = HCF(810,90) = HCF(900,810) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 964 > 90, we apply the division lemma to 964 and 90, to get
964 = 90 x 10 + 64
Step 2: Since the reminder 90 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 64 and 90, to get
90 = 64 x 1 + 26
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 64 and the new remainder 26, and apply the division lemma to get
64 = 26 x 2 + 12
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 12 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 2 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 90 and 964 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(12,2) = HCF(26,12) = HCF(64,26) = HCF(90,64) = HCF(964,90) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 133 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 133 and 2, to get
133 = 2 x 66 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, 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 2 and 133 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(133,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
