HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 922, 518, 103 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 922, 518, 103 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 922, 518, 103 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 922, 518, 103 is 1.
HCF(922, 518, 103) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 922, 518, 103 is 1.
Step 1: Since 922 > 518, we apply the division lemma to 922 and 518, to get
922 = 518 x 1 + 404
Step 2: Since the reminder 518 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 404 and 518, to get
518 = 404 x 1 + 114
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 404 and the new remainder 114, and apply the division lemma to get
404 = 114 x 3 + 62
We consider the new divisor 114 and the new remainder 62,and apply the division lemma to get
114 = 62 x 1 + 52
We consider the new divisor 62 and the new remainder 52,and apply the division lemma to get
62 = 52 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 52 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
52 = 10 x 5 + 2
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 2 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 922 and 518 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(10,2) = HCF(52,10) = HCF(62,52) = HCF(114,62) = HCF(404,114) = HCF(518,404) = HCF(922,518) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 103 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 103 and 2, to get
103 = 2 x 51 + 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 103 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(103,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
