HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4645, 3621 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4645, 3621 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 4645, 3621 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 4645, 3621 is 1.
HCF(4645, 3621) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4645, 3621 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4645 > 3621, we apply the division lemma to 4645 and 3621, to get
4645 = 3621 x 1 + 1024
Step 2: Since the reminder 3621 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1024 and 3621, to get
3621 = 1024 x 3 + 549
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1024 and the new remainder 549, and apply the division lemma to get
1024 = 549 x 1 + 475
We consider the new divisor 549 and the new remainder 475,and apply the division lemma to get
549 = 475 x 1 + 74
We consider the new divisor 475 and the new remainder 74,and apply the division lemma to get
475 = 74 x 6 + 31
We consider the new divisor 74 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
74 = 31 x 2 + 12
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 12 x 2 + 7
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 7 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 5 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 1
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 4645 and 3621 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(7,5) = HCF(12,7) = HCF(31,12) = HCF(74,31) = HCF(475,74) = HCF(549,475) = HCF(1024,549) = HCF(3621,1024) = HCF(4645,3621) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
