HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 910, 376, 716, 901 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 910, 376, 716, 901 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 910, 376, 716, 901 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 910, 376, 716, 901 is 1.
HCF(910, 376, 716, 901) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 910, 376, 716, 901 is 1.
Step 1: Since 910 > 376, we apply the division lemma to 910 and 376, to get
910 = 376 x 2 + 158
Step 2: Since the reminder 376 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 158 and 376, to get
376 = 158 x 2 + 60
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 158 and the new remainder 60, and apply the division lemma to get
158 = 60 x 2 + 38
We consider the new divisor 60 and the new remainder 38,and apply the division lemma to get
60 = 38 x 1 + 22
We consider the new divisor 38 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
38 = 22 x 1 + 16
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 16 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 6 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 4 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 910 and 376 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(6,4) = HCF(16,6) = HCF(22,16) = HCF(38,22) = HCF(60,38) = HCF(158,60) = HCF(376,158) = HCF(910,376) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 716 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 716 and 2, to get
716 = 2 x 358 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 2 and 716 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(716,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 901 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 901 and 2, to get
901 = 2 x 450 + 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 901 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(901,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
