HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4483, 6984, 96810 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4483, 6984, 96810 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 4483, 6984, 96810 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 4483, 6984, 96810 is 1.
HCF(4483, 6984, 96810) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4483, 6984, 96810 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6984 > 4483, we apply the division lemma to 6984 and 4483, to get
6984 = 4483 x 1 + 2501
Step 2: Since the reminder 4483 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2501 and 4483, to get
4483 = 2501 x 1 + 1982
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2501 and the new remainder 1982, and apply the division lemma to get
2501 = 1982 x 1 + 519
We consider the new divisor 1982 and the new remainder 519,and apply the division lemma to get
1982 = 519 x 3 + 425
We consider the new divisor 519 and the new remainder 425,and apply the division lemma to get
519 = 425 x 1 + 94
We consider the new divisor 425 and the new remainder 94,and apply the division lemma to get
425 = 94 x 4 + 49
We consider the new divisor 94 and the new remainder 49,and apply the division lemma to get
94 = 49 x 1 + 45
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 45,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 45 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 45 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
45 = 4 x 11 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4483 and 6984 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(45,4) = HCF(49,45) = HCF(94,49) = HCF(425,94) = HCF(519,425) = HCF(1982,519) = HCF(2501,1982) = HCF(4483,2501) = HCF(6984,4483) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 96810 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 96810 and 1, to get
96810 = 1 x 96810 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 96810 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(96810,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
