HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4185, 3099, 50284 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4185, 3099, 50284 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 4185, 3099, 50284 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 4185, 3099, 50284 is 1.
HCF(4185, 3099, 50284) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4185, 3099, 50284 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4185 > 3099, we apply the division lemma to 4185 and 3099, to get
4185 = 3099 x 1 + 1086
Step 2: Since the reminder 3099 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1086 and 3099, to get
3099 = 1086 x 2 + 927
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1086 and the new remainder 927, and apply the division lemma to get
1086 = 927 x 1 + 159
We consider the new divisor 927 and the new remainder 159,and apply the division lemma to get
927 = 159 x 5 + 132
We consider the new divisor 159 and the new remainder 132,and apply the division lemma to get
159 = 132 x 1 + 27
We consider the new divisor 132 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
132 = 27 x 4 + 24
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 24 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 3 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 4185 and 3099 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(24,3) = HCF(27,24) = HCF(132,27) = HCF(159,132) = HCF(927,159) = HCF(1086,927) = HCF(3099,1086) = HCF(4185,3099) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 50284 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 50284 and 3, to get
50284 = 3 x 16761 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 3, to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 3 and 50284 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(50284,3) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
