HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2477, 3813 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2477, 3813 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 2477, 3813 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 2477, 3813 is 1.
HCF(2477, 3813) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2477, 3813 is 1.
Step 1: Since 3813 > 2477, we apply the division lemma to 3813 and 2477, to get
3813 = 2477 x 1 + 1336
Step 2: Since the reminder 2477 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1336 and 2477, to get
2477 = 1336 x 1 + 1141
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1336 and the new remainder 1141, and apply the division lemma to get
1336 = 1141 x 1 + 195
We consider the new divisor 1141 and the new remainder 195,and apply the division lemma to get
1141 = 195 x 5 + 166
We consider the new divisor 195 and the new remainder 166,and apply the division lemma to get
195 = 166 x 1 + 29
We consider the new divisor 166 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
166 = 29 x 5 + 21
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 21 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 8 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 5 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 2477 and 3813 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(8,5) = HCF(21,8) = HCF(29,21) = HCF(166,29) = HCF(195,166) = HCF(1141,195) = HCF(1336,1141) = HCF(2477,1336) = HCF(3813,2477) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
