HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4330, 1827, 41004 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4330, 1827, 41004 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 4330, 1827, 41004 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 4330, 1827, 41004 is 1.
HCF(4330, 1827, 41004) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4330, 1827, 41004 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4330 > 1827, we apply the division lemma to 4330 and 1827, to get
4330 = 1827 x 2 + 676
Step 2: Since the reminder 1827 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 676 and 1827, to get
1827 = 676 x 2 + 475
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 676 and the new remainder 475, and apply the division lemma to get
676 = 475 x 1 + 201
We consider the new divisor 475 and the new remainder 201,and apply the division lemma to get
475 = 201 x 2 + 73
We consider the new divisor 201 and the new remainder 73,and apply the division lemma to get
201 = 73 x 2 + 55
We consider the new divisor 73 and the new remainder 55,and apply the division lemma to get
73 = 55 x 1 + 18
We consider the new divisor 55 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
55 = 18 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 1 x 18 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4330 and 1827 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(18,1) = HCF(55,18) = HCF(73,55) = HCF(201,73) = HCF(475,201) = HCF(676,475) = HCF(1827,676) = HCF(4330,1827) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 41004 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 41004 and 1, to get
41004 = 1 x 41004 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 41004 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(41004,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
