HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4498, 6446, 57097 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4498, 6446, 57097 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 4498, 6446, 57097 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 4498, 6446, 57097 is 1.
HCF(4498, 6446, 57097) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4498, 6446, 57097 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6446 > 4498, we apply the division lemma to 6446 and 4498, to get
6446 = 4498 x 1 + 1948
Step 2: Since the reminder 4498 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1948 and 4498, to get
4498 = 1948 x 2 + 602
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1948 and the new remainder 602, and apply the division lemma to get
1948 = 602 x 3 + 142
We consider the new divisor 602 and the new remainder 142,and apply the division lemma to get
602 = 142 x 4 + 34
We consider the new divisor 142 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
142 = 34 x 4 + 6
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 6 x 5 + 4
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 4 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 4498 and 6446 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(6,4) = HCF(34,6) = HCF(142,34) = HCF(602,142) = HCF(1948,602) = HCF(4498,1948) = HCF(6446,4498) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 57097 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 57097 and 2, to get
57097 = 2 x 28548 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, 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 2 and 57097 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(57097,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
