HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3197, 2114 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3197, 2114 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 3197, 2114 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 3197, 2114 is 1.
HCF(3197, 2114) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3197, 2114 is 1.
Step 1: Since 3197 > 2114, we apply the division lemma to 3197 and 2114, to get
3197 = 2114 x 1 + 1083
Step 2: Since the reminder 2114 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1083 and 2114, to get
2114 = 1083 x 1 + 1031
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1083 and the new remainder 1031, and apply the division lemma to get
1083 = 1031 x 1 + 52
We consider the new divisor 1031 and the new remainder 52,and apply the division lemma to get
1031 = 52 x 19 + 43
We consider the new divisor 52 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
52 = 43 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 9 x 4 + 7
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 7 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 2 x 3 + 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 3197 and 2114 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(9,7) = HCF(43,9) = HCF(52,43) = HCF(1031,52) = HCF(1083,1031) = HCF(2114,1083) = HCF(3197,2114) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
