HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 923, 353, 441, 26 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 923, 353, 441, 26 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 923, 353, 441, 26 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 923, 353, 441, 26 is 1.
HCF(923, 353, 441, 26) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 923, 353, 441, 26 is 1.
Step 1: Since 923 > 353, we apply the division lemma to 923 and 353, to get
923 = 353 x 2 + 217
Step 2: Since the reminder 353 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 217 and 353, to get
353 = 217 x 1 + 136
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 217 and the new remainder 136, and apply the division lemma to get
217 = 136 x 1 + 81
We consider the new divisor 136 and the new remainder 81,and apply the division lemma to get
136 = 81 x 1 + 55
We consider the new divisor 81 and the new remainder 55,and apply the division lemma to get
81 = 55 x 1 + 26
We consider the new divisor 55 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
55 = 26 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 3 x 8 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 923 and 353 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(26,3) = HCF(55,26) = HCF(81,55) = HCF(136,81) = HCF(217,136) = HCF(353,217) = HCF(923,353) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 441 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 441 and 1, to get
441 = 1 x 441 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 441 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(441,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 26 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 26 and 1, to get
26 = 1 x 26 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 26 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(26,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
