HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3859, 6802 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3859, 6802 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 3859, 6802 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 3859, 6802 is 1.
HCF(3859, 6802) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3859, 6802 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6802 > 3859, we apply the division lemma to 6802 and 3859, to get
6802 = 3859 x 1 + 2943
Step 2: Since the reminder 3859 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2943 and 3859, to get
3859 = 2943 x 1 + 916
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2943 and the new remainder 916, and apply the division lemma to get
2943 = 916 x 3 + 195
We consider the new divisor 916 and the new remainder 195,and apply the division lemma to get
916 = 195 x 4 + 136
We consider the new divisor 195 and the new remainder 136,and apply the division lemma to get
195 = 136 x 1 + 59
We consider the new divisor 136 and the new remainder 59,and apply the division lemma to get
136 = 59 x 2 + 18
We consider the new divisor 59 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
59 = 18 x 3 + 5
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 5 x 3 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 3859 and 6802 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(18,5) = HCF(59,18) = HCF(136,59) = HCF(195,136) = HCF(916,195) = HCF(2943,916) = HCF(3859,2943) = HCF(6802,3859) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
