HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 1216, 8804 i.e. 4 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 1216, 8804 is 4 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 1216, 8804 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 1216, 8804 is 4.
HCF(1216, 8804) = 4
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 1216, 8804 is 4.
Step 1: Since 8804 > 1216, we apply the division lemma to 8804 and 1216, to get
8804 = 1216 x 7 + 292
Step 2: Since the reminder 1216 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 292 and 1216, to get
1216 = 292 x 4 + 48
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 292 and the new remainder 48, and apply the division lemma to get
292 = 48 x 6 + 4
We consider the new divisor 48 and the new remainder 4, and apply the division lemma to get
48 = 4 x 12 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 4, the HCF of 1216 and 8804 is 4
Notice that 4 = HCF(48,4) = HCF(292,48) = HCF(1216,292) = HCF(8804,1216) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
