HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2048, 4512 i.e. 32 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2048, 4512 is 32 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 2048, 4512 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 2048, 4512 is 32.
HCF(2048, 4512) = 32
HCF of 2048, 4512 using Euclid's algorithm
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2048, 4512 is 32.
Highest Common Factor of 2048,4512 is 32
Step 1: Since 4512 > 2048, we apply the division lemma to 4512 and 2048, to get
4512 = 2048 x 2 + 416
Step 2: Since the reminder 2048 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 416 and 2048, to get
2048 = 416 x 4 + 384
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 416 and the new remainder 384, and apply the division lemma to get
416 = 384 x 1 + 32
We consider the new divisor 384 and the new remainder 32, and apply the division lemma to get
384 = 32 x 12 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 32, the HCF of 2048 and 4512 is 32
Notice that 32 = HCF(384,32) = HCF(416,384) = HCF(2048,416) = HCF(4512,2048) .
