HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4380, 4169 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4380, 4169 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 4380, 4169 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 4380, 4169 is 1.
HCF(4380, 4169) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4380, 4169 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4380 > 4169, we apply the division lemma to 4380 and 4169, to get
4380 = 4169 x 1 + 211
Step 2: Since the reminder 4169 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 211 and 4169, to get
4169 = 211 x 19 + 160
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 211 and the new remainder 160, and apply the division lemma to get
211 = 160 x 1 + 51
We consider the new divisor 160 and the new remainder 51,and apply the division lemma to get
160 = 51 x 3 + 7
We consider the new divisor 51 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
51 = 7 x 7 + 2
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 2 x 3 + 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 4380 and 4169 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(51,7) = HCF(160,51) = HCF(211,160) = HCF(4169,211) = HCF(4380,4169) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 4380, 4169?
Answer: HCF of 4380, 4169 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 4380, 4169 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 4380, 4169 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
