HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4516, 3207 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4516, 3207 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 4516, 3207 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 4516, 3207 is 1.
HCF(4516, 3207) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4516, 3207 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4516 > 3207, we apply the division lemma to 4516 and 3207, to get
4516 = 3207 x 1 + 1309
Step 2: Since the reminder 3207 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1309 and 3207, to get
3207 = 1309 x 2 + 589
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1309 and the new remainder 589, and apply the division lemma to get
1309 = 589 x 2 + 131
We consider the new divisor 589 and the new remainder 131,and apply the division lemma to get
589 = 131 x 4 + 65
We consider the new divisor 131 and the new remainder 65,and apply the division lemma to get
131 = 65 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 65 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
65 = 1 x 65 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4516 and 3207 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(65,1) = HCF(131,65) = HCF(589,131) = HCF(1309,589) = HCF(3207,1309) = HCF(4516,3207) .
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 4516, 3207?
Answer: HCF of 4516, 3207 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 4516, 3207 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 4516, 3207 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
