HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2312, 8866 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2312, 8866 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 2312, 8866 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 2312, 8866 is 2.
HCF(2312, 8866) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2312, 8866 is 2.
Step 1: Since 8866 > 2312, we apply the division lemma to 8866 and 2312, to get
8866 = 2312 x 3 + 1930
Step 2: Since the reminder 2312 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1930 and 2312, to get
2312 = 1930 x 1 + 382
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1930 and the new remainder 382, and apply the division lemma to get
1930 = 382 x 5 + 20
We consider the new divisor 382 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
382 = 20 x 19 + 2
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 2 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 2312 and 8866 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(20,2) = HCF(382,20) = HCF(1930,382) = HCF(2312,1930) = HCF(8866,2312) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
