HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 1580, 4326 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 1580, 4326 is 2 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 1580, 4326 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 1580, 4326 is 2.
HCF(1580, 4326) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 1580, 4326 is 2.
Step 1: Since 4326 > 1580, we apply the division lemma to 4326 and 1580, to get
4326 = 1580 x 2 + 1166
Step 2: Since the reminder 1580 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1166 and 1580, to get
1580 = 1166 x 1 + 414
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1166 and the new remainder 414, and apply the division lemma to get
1166 = 414 x 2 + 338
We consider the new divisor 414 and the new remainder 338,and apply the division lemma to get
414 = 338 x 1 + 76
We consider the new divisor 338 and the new remainder 76,and apply the division lemma to get
338 = 76 x 4 + 34
We consider the new divisor 76 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
76 = 34 x 2 + 8
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 8 x 4 + 2
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 2 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 1580 and 4326 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(8,2) = HCF(34,8) = HCF(76,34) = HCF(338,76) = HCF(414,338) = HCF(1166,414) = HCF(1580,1166) = HCF(4326,1580) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
