HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 935, 527, 247, 621 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 935, 527, 247, 621 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 935, 527, 247, 621 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 935, 527, 247, 621 is 1.
HCF(935, 527, 247, 621) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 935, 527, 247, 621 is 1.
Step 1: Since 935 > 527, we apply the division lemma to 935 and 527, to get
935 = 527 x 1 + 408
Step 2: Since the reminder 527 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 408 and 527, to get
527 = 408 x 1 + 119
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 408 and the new remainder 119, and apply the division lemma to get
408 = 119 x 3 + 51
We consider the new divisor 119 and the new remainder 51,and apply the division lemma to get
119 = 51 x 2 + 17
We consider the new divisor 51 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
51 = 17 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 17, the HCF of 935 and 527 is 17
Notice that 17 = HCF(51,17) = HCF(119,51) = HCF(408,119) = HCF(527,408) = HCF(935,527) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 247 > 17, we apply the division lemma to 247 and 17, to get
247 = 17 x 14 + 9
Step 2: Since the reminder 17 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 9 and 17, to get
17 = 9 x 1 + 8
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 8, and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 8 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 1 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 17 and 247 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(9,8) = HCF(17,9) = HCF(247,17) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 621 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 621 and 1, to get
621 = 1 x 621 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 621 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(621,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
