HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 922, 596, 885, 44 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 922, 596, 885, 44 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, 596, 885, 44 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, 596, 885, 44 is 1.
HCF(922, 596, 885, 44) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 922, 596, 885, 44 is 1.
Step 1: Since 922 > 596, we apply the division lemma to 922 and 596, to get
922 = 596 x 1 + 326
Step 2: Since the reminder 596 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 326 and 596, to get
596 = 326 x 1 + 270
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 326 and the new remainder 270, and apply the division lemma to get
326 = 270 x 1 + 56
We consider the new divisor 270 and the new remainder 56,and apply the division lemma to get
270 = 56 x 4 + 46
We consider the new divisor 56 and the new remainder 46,and apply the division lemma to get
56 = 46 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 46 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
46 = 10 x 4 + 6
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 6 x 1 + 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 922 and 596 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(6,4) = HCF(10,6) = HCF(46,10) = HCF(56,46) = HCF(270,56) = HCF(326,270) = HCF(596,326) = HCF(922,596) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 885 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 885 and 2, to get
885 = 2 x 442 + 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 885 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(885,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 44 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 44 and 1, to get
44 = 1 x 44 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 44 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(44,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
