HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3262, 3084 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3262, 3084 is 2 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 3262, 3084 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 3262, 3084 is 2.
HCF(3262, 3084) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3262, 3084 is 2.
Step 1: Since 3262 > 3084, we apply the division lemma to 3262 and 3084, to get
3262 = 3084 x 1 + 178
Step 2: Since the reminder 3084 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 178 and 3084, to get
3084 = 178 x 17 + 58
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 178 and the new remainder 58, and apply the division lemma to get
178 = 58 x 3 + 4
We consider the new divisor 58 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
58 = 4 x 14 + 2
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 3262 and 3084 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(58,4) = HCF(178,58) = HCF(3084,178) = HCF(3262,3084) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
