HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 458, 2096 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 458, 2096 is 2 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 458, 2096 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 458, 2096 is 2.
HCF(458, 2096) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 458, 2096 is 2.
Step 1: Since 2096 > 458, we apply the division lemma to 2096 and 458, to get
2096 = 458 x 4 + 264
Step 2: Since the reminder 458 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 264 and 458, to get
458 = 264 x 1 + 194
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 264 and the new remainder 194, and apply the division lemma to get
264 = 194 x 1 + 70
We consider the new divisor 194 and the new remainder 70,and apply the division lemma to get
194 = 70 x 2 + 54
We consider the new divisor 70 and the new remainder 54,and apply the division lemma to get
70 = 54 x 1 + 16
We consider the new divisor 54 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
54 = 16 x 3 + 6
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 6 x 2 + 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 458 and 2096 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(6,4) = HCF(16,6) = HCF(54,16) = HCF(70,54) = HCF(194,70) = HCF(264,194) = HCF(458,264) = HCF(2096,458) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
