HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4317, 8532 i.e. 3 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4317, 8532 is 3 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 4317, 8532 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 4317, 8532 is 3.
HCF(4317, 8532) = 3
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4317, 8532 is 3.
Step 1: Since 8532 > 4317, we apply the division lemma to 8532 and 4317, to get
8532 = 4317 x 1 + 4215
Step 2: Since the reminder 4317 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4215 and 4317, to get
4317 = 4215 x 1 + 102
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4215 and the new remainder 102, and apply the division lemma to get
4215 = 102 x 41 + 33
We consider the new divisor 102 and the new remainder 33,and apply the division lemma to get
102 = 33 x 3 + 3
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 3 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 4317 and 8532 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(33,3) = HCF(102,33) = HCF(4215,102) = HCF(4317,4215) = HCF(8532,4317) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
