HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4617, 4736, 22139 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4617, 4736, 22139 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 4617, 4736, 22139 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 4617, 4736, 22139 is 1.
HCF(4617, 4736, 22139) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4617, 4736, 22139 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4736 > 4617, we apply the division lemma to 4736 and 4617, to get
4736 = 4617 x 1 + 119
Step 2: Since the reminder 4617 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 119 and 4617, to get
4617 = 119 x 38 + 95
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 119 and the new remainder 95, and apply the division lemma to get
119 = 95 x 1 + 24
We consider the new divisor 95 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
95 = 24 x 3 + 23
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 23 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 1 x 23 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4617 and 4736 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(23,1) = HCF(24,23) = HCF(95,24) = HCF(119,95) = HCF(4617,119) = HCF(4736,4617) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 22139 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 22139 and 1, to get
22139 = 1 x 22139 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 22139 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(22139,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
