HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 919, 594, 356, 977 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 919, 594, 356, 977 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 919, 594, 356, 977 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 919, 594, 356, 977 is 1.
HCF(919, 594, 356, 977) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 919, 594, 356, 977 is 1.
Step 1: Since 919 > 594, we apply the division lemma to 919 and 594, to get
919 = 594 x 1 + 325
Step 2: Since the reminder 594 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 325 and 594, to get
594 = 325 x 1 + 269
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 325 and the new remainder 269, and apply the division lemma to get
325 = 269 x 1 + 56
We consider the new divisor 269 and the new remainder 56,and apply the division lemma to get
269 = 56 x 4 + 45
We consider the new divisor 56 and the new remainder 45,and apply the division lemma to get
56 = 45 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 45 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
45 = 11 x 4 + 1
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 1 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 919 and 594 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(11,1) = HCF(45,11) = HCF(56,45) = HCF(269,56) = HCF(325,269) = HCF(594,325) = HCF(919,594) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 356 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 356 and 1, to get
356 = 1 x 356 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 356 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(356,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 977 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 977 and 1, to get
977 = 1 x 977 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 977 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(977,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
