HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4347, 5308 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4347, 5308 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 4347, 5308 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 4347, 5308 is 1.
HCF(4347, 5308) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4347, 5308 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5308 > 4347, we apply the division lemma to 5308 and 4347, to get
5308 = 4347 x 1 + 961
Step 2: Since the reminder 4347 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 961 and 4347, to get
4347 = 961 x 4 + 503
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 961 and the new remainder 503, and apply the division lemma to get
961 = 503 x 1 + 458
We consider the new divisor 503 and the new remainder 458,and apply the division lemma to get
503 = 458 x 1 + 45
We consider the new divisor 458 and the new remainder 45,and apply the division lemma to get
458 = 45 x 10 + 8
We consider the new divisor 45 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
45 = 8 x 5 + 5
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 5 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4347 and 5308 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(8,5) = HCF(45,8) = HCF(458,45) = HCF(503,458) = HCF(961,503) = HCF(4347,961) = HCF(5308,4347) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
