HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4290, 4973 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4290, 4973 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 4290, 4973 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 4290, 4973 is 1.
HCF(4290, 4973) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4290, 4973 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4973 > 4290, we apply the division lemma to 4973 and 4290, to get
4973 = 4290 x 1 + 683
Step 2: Since the reminder 4290 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 683 and 4290, to get
4290 = 683 x 6 + 192
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 683 and the new remainder 192, and apply the division lemma to get
683 = 192 x 3 + 107
We consider the new divisor 192 and the new remainder 107,and apply the division lemma to get
192 = 107 x 1 + 85
We consider the new divisor 107 and the new remainder 85,and apply the division lemma to get
107 = 85 x 1 + 22
We consider the new divisor 85 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
85 = 22 x 3 + 19
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 19 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 3 x 6 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma 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 4290 and 4973 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(19,3) = HCF(22,19) = HCF(85,22) = HCF(107,85) = HCF(192,107) = HCF(683,192) = HCF(4290,683) = HCF(4973,4290) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
