HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 94, 47, 781, 671 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 94, 47, 781, 671 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 94, 47, 781, 671 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 94, 47, 781, 671 is 1.
HCF(94, 47, 781, 671) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 94, 47, 781, 671 is 1.
Step 1: Since 94 > 47, we apply the division lemma to 94 and 47, to get
94 = 47 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 47, the HCF of 94 and 47 is 47
Notice that 47 = HCF(94,47) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 781 > 47, we apply the division lemma to 781 and 47, to get
781 = 47 x 16 + 29
Step 2: Since the reminder 47 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 29 and 47, to get
47 = 29 x 1 + 18
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 18, and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 18 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 11 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 7 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 4 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 47 and 781 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(7,4) = HCF(11,7) = HCF(18,11) = HCF(29,18) = HCF(47,29) = HCF(781,47) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 671 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 671 and 1, to get
671 = 1 x 671 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 671 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(671,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
