HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 910, 664, 142, 600 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 910, 664, 142, 600 is 2 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, 664, 142, 600 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, 664, 142, 600 is 2.
HCF(910, 664, 142, 600) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 910, 664, 142, 600 is 2.
Step 1: Since 910 > 664, we apply the division lemma to 910 and 664, to get
910 = 664 x 1 + 246
Step 2: Since the reminder 664 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 246 and 664, to get
664 = 246 x 2 + 172
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 246 and the new remainder 172, and apply the division lemma to get
246 = 172 x 1 + 74
We consider the new divisor 172 and the new remainder 74,and apply the division lemma to get
172 = 74 x 2 + 24
We consider the new divisor 74 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
74 = 24 x 3 + 2
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 2 x 12 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 910 and 664 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(24,2) = HCF(74,24) = HCF(172,74) = HCF(246,172) = HCF(664,246) = HCF(910,664) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 142 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 142 and 2, to get
142 = 2 x 71 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 2 and 142 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(142,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 600 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 600 and 2, to get
600 = 2 x 300 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 2 and 600 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(600,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
