HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 913, 346, 442 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 913, 346, 442 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 913, 346, 442 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 913, 346, 442 is 1.
HCF(913, 346, 442) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 913, 346, 442 is 1.
Step 1: Since 913 > 346, we apply the division lemma to 913 and 346, to get
913 = 346 x 2 + 221
Step 2: Since the reminder 346 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 221 and 346, to get
346 = 221 x 1 + 125
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 221 and the new remainder 125, and apply the division lemma to get
221 = 125 x 1 + 96
We consider the new divisor 125 and the new remainder 96,and apply the division lemma to get
125 = 96 x 1 + 29
We consider the new divisor 96 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
96 = 29 x 3 + 9
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 9 x 3 + 2
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 2 x 4 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma 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 913 and 346 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(9,2) = HCF(29,9) = HCF(96,29) = HCF(125,96) = HCF(221,125) = HCF(346,221) = HCF(913,346) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 442 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 442 and 1, to get
442 = 1 x 442 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 442 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(442,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
