HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 1952, 7783 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 1952, 7783 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 1952, 7783 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 1952, 7783 is 1.
HCF(1952, 7783) = 1
HCF of 1952, 7783 using Euclid's algorithm
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 1952, 7783 is 1.
Highest Common Factor of 1952,7783 is 1
Step 1: Since 7783 > 1952, we apply the division lemma to 7783 and 1952, to get
7783 = 1952 x 3 + 1927
Step 2: Since the reminder 1952 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1927 and 1952, to get
1952 = 1927 x 1 + 25
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1927 and the new remainder 25, and apply the division lemma to get
1927 = 25 x 77 + 2
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 2 x 12 + 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 1952 and 7783 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(25,2) = HCF(1927,25) = HCF(1952,1927) = HCF(7783,1952) .
