HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3461, 8053 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3461, 8053 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 3461, 8053 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 3461, 8053 is 1.
HCF(3461, 8053) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3461, 8053 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8053 > 3461, we apply the division lemma to 8053 and 3461, to get
8053 = 3461 x 2 + 1131
Step 2: Since the reminder 3461 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1131 and 3461, to get
3461 = 1131 x 3 + 68
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1131 and the new remainder 68, and apply the division lemma to get
1131 = 68 x 16 + 43
We consider the new divisor 68 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
68 = 43 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 25 x 1 + 18
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 18 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 7 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 4 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 3461 and 8053 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(7,4) = HCF(18,7) = HCF(25,18) = HCF(43,25) = HCF(68,43) = HCF(1131,68) = HCF(3461,1131) = HCF(8053,3461) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
