HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2497, 8643 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2497, 8643 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 2497, 8643 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 2497, 8643 is 1.
HCF(2497, 8643) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2497, 8643 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8643 > 2497, we apply the division lemma to 8643 and 2497, to get
8643 = 2497 x 3 + 1152
Step 2: Since the reminder 2497 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1152 and 2497, to get
2497 = 1152 x 2 + 193
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1152 and the new remainder 193, and apply the division lemma to get
1152 = 193 x 5 + 187
We consider the new divisor 193 and the new remainder 187,and apply the division lemma to get
193 = 187 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 187 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
187 = 6 x 31 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2497 and 8643 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(187,6) = HCF(193,187) = HCF(1152,193) = HCF(2497,1152) = HCF(8643,2497) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 2497, 8643?
Answer: HCF of 2497, 8643 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 2497, 8643 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 2497, 8643 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
