HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 964, 602, 755, 25 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 964, 602, 755, 25 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 964, 602, 755, 25 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 964, 602, 755, 25 is 1.
HCF(964, 602, 755, 25) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 964, 602, 755, 25 is 1.
Step 1: Since 964 > 602, we apply the division lemma to 964 and 602, to get
964 = 602 x 1 + 362
Step 2: Since the reminder 602 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 362 and 602, to get
602 = 362 x 1 + 240
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 362 and the new remainder 240, and apply the division lemma to get
362 = 240 x 1 + 122
We consider the new divisor 240 and the new remainder 122,and apply the division lemma to get
240 = 122 x 1 + 118
We consider the new divisor 122 and the new remainder 118,and apply the division lemma to get
122 = 118 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 118 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
118 = 4 x 29 + 2
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 964 and 602 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(118,4) = HCF(122,118) = HCF(240,122) = HCF(362,240) = HCF(602,362) = HCF(964,602) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 755 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 755 and 2, to get
755 = 2 x 377 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, 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 2 and 755 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(755,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 25 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 25 and 1, to get
25 = 1 x 25 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 25 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(25,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
