HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 922, 763, 187, 543 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 922, 763, 187, 543 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, 763, 187, 543 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, 763, 187, 543 is 1.
HCF(922, 763, 187, 543) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 922, 763, 187, 543 is 1.
Step 1: Since 922 > 763, we apply the division lemma to 922 and 763, to get
922 = 763 x 1 + 159
Step 2: Since the reminder 763 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 159 and 763, to get
763 = 159 x 4 + 127
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 159 and the new remainder 127, and apply the division lemma to get
159 = 127 x 1 + 32
We consider the new divisor 127 and the new remainder 32,and apply the division lemma to get
127 = 32 x 3 + 31
We consider the new divisor 32 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
32 = 31 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 1 x 31 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 922 and 763 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(31,1) = HCF(32,31) = HCF(127,32) = HCF(159,127) = HCF(763,159) = HCF(922,763) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 187 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 187 and 1, to get
187 = 1 x 187 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 187 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(187,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 543 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 543 and 1, to get
543 = 1 x 543 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 543 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(543,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
