HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 1373, 6297, 46098 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 1373, 6297, 46098 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 1373, 6297, 46098 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 1373, 6297, 46098 is 1.
HCF(1373, 6297, 46098) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 1373, 6297, 46098 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6297 > 1373, we apply the division lemma to 6297 and 1373, to get
6297 = 1373 x 4 + 805
Step 2: Since the reminder 1373 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 805 and 1373, to get
1373 = 805 x 1 + 568
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 805 and the new remainder 568, and apply the division lemma to get
805 = 568 x 1 + 237
We consider the new divisor 568 and the new remainder 237,and apply the division lemma to get
568 = 237 x 2 + 94
We consider the new divisor 237 and the new remainder 94,and apply the division lemma to get
237 = 94 x 2 + 49
We consider the new divisor 94 and the new remainder 49,and apply the division lemma to get
94 = 49 x 1 + 45
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 45,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 45 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 45 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
45 = 4 x 11 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1373 and 6297 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(45,4) = HCF(49,45) = HCF(94,49) = HCF(237,94) = HCF(568,237) = HCF(805,568) = HCF(1373,805) = HCF(6297,1373) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 46098 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 46098 and 1, to get
46098 = 1 x 46098 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 46098 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(46098,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
