HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 983, 64, 967, 433 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 983, 64, 967, 433 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 983, 64, 967, 433 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 983, 64, 967, 433 is 1.
HCF(983, 64, 967, 433) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 983, 64, 967, 433 is 1.
Step 1: Since 983 > 64, we apply the division lemma to 983 and 64, to get
983 = 64 x 15 + 23
Step 2: Since the reminder 64 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 23 and 64, to get
64 = 23 x 2 + 18
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 18, and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 18 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 5 x 3 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma 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 983 and 64 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(18,5) = HCF(23,18) = HCF(64,23) = HCF(983,64) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 967 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 967 and 1, to get
967 = 1 x 967 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 967 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(967,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 433 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 433 and 1, to get
433 = 1 x 433 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 433 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(433,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
