HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4522, 1929, 82465 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4522, 1929, 82465 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 4522, 1929, 82465 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 4522, 1929, 82465 is 1.
HCF(4522, 1929, 82465) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4522, 1929, 82465 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4522 > 1929, we apply the division lemma to 4522 and 1929, to get
4522 = 1929 x 2 + 664
Step 2: Since the reminder 1929 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 664 and 1929, to get
1929 = 664 x 2 + 601
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 664 and the new remainder 601, and apply the division lemma to get
664 = 601 x 1 + 63
We consider the new divisor 601 and the new remainder 63,and apply the division lemma to get
601 = 63 x 9 + 34
We consider the new divisor 63 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
63 = 34 x 1 + 29
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 29 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 5 x 5 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 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 4522 and 1929 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(29,5) = HCF(34,29) = HCF(63,34) = HCF(601,63) = HCF(664,601) = HCF(1929,664) = HCF(4522,1929) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 82465 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 82465 and 1, to get
82465 = 1 x 82465 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 82465 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(82465,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
