HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3137, 4075 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3137, 4075 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 3137, 4075 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 3137, 4075 is 1.
HCF(3137, 4075) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3137, 4075 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4075 > 3137, we apply the division lemma to 4075 and 3137, to get
4075 = 3137 x 1 + 938
Step 2: Since the reminder 3137 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 938 and 3137, to get
3137 = 938 x 3 + 323
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 938 and the new remainder 323, and apply the division lemma to get
938 = 323 x 2 + 292
We consider the new divisor 323 and the new remainder 292,and apply the division lemma to get
323 = 292 x 1 + 31
We consider the new divisor 292 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
292 = 31 x 9 + 13
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 13 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 5 x 2 + 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 3137 and 4075 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(13,5) = HCF(31,13) = HCF(292,31) = HCF(323,292) = HCF(938,323) = HCF(3137,938) = HCF(4075,3137) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
