HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4072, 2445, 92681 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4072, 2445, 92681 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 4072, 2445, 92681 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 4072, 2445, 92681 is 1.
HCF(4072, 2445, 92681) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4072, 2445, 92681 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4072 > 2445, we apply the division lemma to 4072 and 2445, to get
4072 = 2445 x 1 + 1627
Step 2: Since the reminder 2445 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1627 and 2445, to get
2445 = 1627 x 1 + 818
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1627 and the new remainder 818, and apply the division lemma to get
1627 = 818 x 1 + 809
We consider the new divisor 818 and the new remainder 809,and apply the division lemma to get
818 = 809 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 809 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
809 = 9 x 89 + 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 4072 and 2445 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(9,8) = HCF(809,9) = HCF(818,809) = HCF(1627,818) = HCF(2445,1627) = HCF(4072,2445) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 92681 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 92681 and 1, to get
92681 = 1 x 92681 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 92681 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(92681,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
