HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 980, 413, 358, 276 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 980, 413, 358, 276 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 980, 413, 358, 276 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 980, 413, 358, 276 is 1.
HCF(980, 413, 358, 276) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 980, 413, 358, 276 is 1.
Step 1: Since 980 > 413, we apply the division lemma to 980 and 413, to get
980 = 413 x 2 + 154
Step 2: Since the reminder 413 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 154 and 413, to get
413 = 154 x 2 + 105
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 154 and the new remainder 105, and apply the division lemma to get
154 = 105 x 1 + 49
We consider the new divisor 105 and the new remainder 49,and apply the division lemma to get
105 = 49 x 2 + 7
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 7 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 7, the HCF of 980 and 413 is 7
Notice that 7 = HCF(49,7) = HCF(105,49) = HCF(154,105) = HCF(413,154) = HCF(980,413) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 358 > 7, we apply the division lemma to 358 and 7, to get
358 = 7 x 51 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 7 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 7, to get
7 = 1 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 7 and 358 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(358,7) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 276 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 276 and 1, to get
276 = 1 x 276 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 276 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(276,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
