HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 956, 835, 110, 92 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 956, 835, 110, 92 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 956, 835, 110, 92 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 956, 835, 110, 92 is 1.
HCF(956, 835, 110, 92) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 956, 835, 110, 92 is 1.
Step 1: Since 956 > 835, we apply the division lemma to 956 and 835, to get
956 = 835 x 1 + 121
Step 2: Since the reminder 835 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 121 and 835, to get
835 = 121 x 6 + 109
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 121 and the new remainder 109, and apply the division lemma to get
121 = 109 x 1 + 12
We consider the new divisor 109 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
109 = 12 x 9 + 1
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 1 x 12 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 956 and 835 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(12,1) = HCF(109,12) = HCF(121,109) = HCF(835,121) = HCF(956,835) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 110 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 110 and 1, to get
110 = 1 x 110 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 110 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(110,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 92 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 92 and 1, to get
92 = 1 x 92 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 92 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(92,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
