HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4593, 2058, 67094 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4593, 2058, 67094 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 4593, 2058, 67094 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 4593, 2058, 67094 is 1.
HCF(4593, 2058, 67094) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4593, 2058, 67094 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4593 > 2058, we apply the division lemma to 4593 and 2058, to get
4593 = 2058 x 2 + 477
Step 2: Since the reminder 2058 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 477 and 2058, to get
2058 = 477 x 4 + 150
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 477 and the new remainder 150, and apply the division lemma to get
477 = 150 x 3 + 27
We consider the new divisor 150 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
150 = 27 x 5 + 15
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 15 x 1 + 12
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 12 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 3 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 4593 and 2058 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(12,3) = HCF(15,12) = HCF(27,15) = HCF(150,27) = HCF(477,150) = HCF(2058,477) = HCF(4593,2058) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 67094 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 67094 and 3, to get
67094 = 3 x 22364 + 2
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2 and 3, to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma 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 3 and 67094 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(67094,3) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
