HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3999, 3865 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3999, 3865 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 3999, 3865 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 3999, 3865 is 1.
HCF(3999, 3865) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3999, 3865 is 1.
Step 1: Since 3999 > 3865, we apply the division lemma to 3999 and 3865, to get
3999 = 3865 x 1 + 134
Step 2: Since the reminder 3865 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 134 and 3865, to get
3865 = 134 x 28 + 113
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 134 and the new remainder 113, and apply the division lemma to get
134 = 113 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 113 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
113 = 21 x 5 + 8
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 8 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 5 x 1 + 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 3999 and 3865 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(8,5) = HCF(21,8) = HCF(113,21) = HCF(134,113) = HCF(3865,134) = HCF(3999,3865) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
