HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 351, 4472 i.e. 13 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 351, 4472 is 13 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 351, 4472 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 351, 4472 is 13.
HCF(351, 4472) = 13
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 351, 4472 is 13.
Step 1: Since 4472 > 351, we apply the division lemma to 4472 and 351, to get
4472 = 351 x 12 + 260
Step 2: Since the reminder 351 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 260 and 351, to get
351 = 260 x 1 + 91
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 260 and the new remainder 91, and apply the division lemma to get
260 = 91 x 2 + 78
We consider the new divisor 91 and the new remainder 78,and apply the division lemma to get
91 = 78 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 78 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
78 = 13 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 13, the HCF of 351 and 4472 is 13
Notice that 13 = HCF(78,13) = HCF(91,78) = HCF(260,91) = HCF(351,260) = HCF(4472,351) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
