HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2876, 9628 i.e. 4 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2876, 9628 is 4 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 2876, 9628 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 2876, 9628 is 4.
HCF(2876, 9628) = 4
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2876, 9628 is 4.
Step 1: Since 9628 > 2876, we apply the division lemma to 9628 and 2876, to get
9628 = 2876 x 3 + 1000
Step 2: Since the reminder 2876 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1000 and 2876, to get
2876 = 1000 x 2 + 876
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1000 and the new remainder 876, and apply the division lemma to get
1000 = 876 x 1 + 124
We consider the new divisor 876 and the new remainder 124,and apply the division lemma to get
876 = 124 x 7 + 8
We consider the new divisor 124 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
124 = 8 x 15 + 4
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 4 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 4, the HCF of 2876 and 9628 is 4
Notice that 4 = HCF(8,4) = HCF(124,8) = HCF(876,124) = HCF(1000,876) = HCF(2876,1000) = HCF(9628,2876) .
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 2876, 9628?
Answer: HCF of 2876, 9628 is 4 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 2876, 9628 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 2876, 9628 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
