HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4264, 9224 i.e. 8 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4264, 9224 is 8 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 4264, 9224 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 4264, 9224 is 8.
HCF(4264, 9224) = 8
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4264, 9224 is 8.
Step 1: Since 9224 > 4264, we apply the division lemma to 9224 and 4264, to get
9224 = 4264 x 2 + 696
Step 2: Since the reminder 4264 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 696 and 4264, to get
4264 = 696 x 6 + 88
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 696 and the new remainder 88, and apply the division lemma to get
696 = 88 x 7 + 80
We consider the new divisor 88 and the new remainder 80,and apply the division lemma to get
88 = 80 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 80 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
80 = 8 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 8, the HCF of 4264 and 9224 is 8
Notice that 8 = HCF(80,8) = HCF(88,80) = HCF(696,88) = HCF(4264,696) = HCF(9224,4264) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
