HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3482, 3925 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3482, 3925 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 3482, 3925 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 3482, 3925 is 1.
HCF(3482, 3925) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3482, 3925 is 1.
Step 1: Since 3925 > 3482, we apply the division lemma to 3925 and 3482, to get
3925 = 3482 x 1 + 443
Step 2: Since the reminder 3482 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 443 and 3482, to get
3482 = 443 x 7 + 381
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 443 and the new remainder 381, and apply the division lemma to get
443 = 381 x 1 + 62
We consider the new divisor 381 and the new remainder 62,and apply the division lemma to get
381 = 62 x 6 + 9
We consider the new divisor 62 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
62 = 9 x 6 + 8
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 8 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 1 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 3482 and 3925 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(9,8) = HCF(62,9) = HCF(381,62) = HCF(443,381) = HCF(3482,443) = HCF(3925,3482) .
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 3482, 3925?
Answer: HCF of 3482, 3925 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 3482, 3925 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 3482, 3925 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
