HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4374, 804 i.e. 6 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4374, 804 is 6 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 4374, 804 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 4374, 804 is 6.
HCF(4374, 804) = 6
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4374, 804 is 6.
Step 1: Since 4374 > 804, we apply the division lemma to 4374 and 804, to get
4374 = 804 x 5 + 354
Step 2: Since the reminder 804 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 354 and 804, to get
804 = 354 x 2 + 96
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 354 and the new remainder 96, and apply the division lemma to get
354 = 96 x 3 + 66
We consider the new divisor 96 and the new remainder 66,and apply the division lemma to get
96 = 66 x 1 + 30
We consider the new divisor 66 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
66 = 30 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 6 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 6, the HCF of 4374 and 804 is 6
Notice that 6 = HCF(30,6) = HCF(66,30) = HCF(96,66) = HCF(354,96) = HCF(804,354) = HCF(4374,804) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
