HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4233, 7456 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4233, 7456 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 4233, 7456 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 4233, 7456 is 1.
HCF(4233, 7456) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4233, 7456 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7456 > 4233, we apply the division lemma to 7456 and 4233, to get
7456 = 4233 x 1 + 3223
Step 2: Since the reminder 4233 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3223 and 4233, to get
4233 = 3223 x 1 + 1010
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3223 and the new remainder 1010, and apply the division lemma to get
3223 = 1010 x 3 + 193
We consider the new divisor 1010 and the new remainder 193,and apply the division lemma to get
1010 = 193 x 5 + 45
We consider the new divisor 193 and the new remainder 45,and apply the division lemma to get
193 = 45 x 4 + 13
We consider the new divisor 45 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
45 = 13 x 3 + 6
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 6 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4233 and 7456 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(13,6) = HCF(45,13) = HCF(193,45) = HCF(1010,193) = HCF(3223,1010) = HCF(4233,3223) = HCF(7456,4233) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
