HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 1134, 8483, 62543 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 1134, 8483, 62543 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 1134, 8483, 62543 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 1134, 8483, 62543 is 1.
HCF(1134, 8483, 62543) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 1134, 8483, 62543 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8483 > 1134, we apply the division lemma to 8483 and 1134, to get
8483 = 1134 x 7 + 545
Step 2: Since the reminder 1134 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 545 and 1134, to get
1134 = 545 x 2 + 44
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 545 and the new remainder 44, and apply the division lemma to get
545 = 44 x 12 + 17
We consider the new divisor 44 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
44 = 17 x 2 + 10
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 10 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 7 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 3 x 2 + 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 1134 and 8483 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(7,3) = HCF(10,7) = HCF(17,10) = HCF(44,17) = HCF(545,44) = HCF(1134,545) = HCF(8483,1134) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 62543 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 62543 and 1, to get
62543 = 1 x 62543 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 62543 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(62543,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
