HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4650, 9739 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4650, 9739 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 4650, 9739 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 4650, 9739 is 1.
HCF(4650, 9739) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4650, 9739 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9739 > 4650, we apply the division lemma to 9739 and 4650, to get
9739 = 4650 x 2 + 439
Step 2: Since the reminder 4650 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 439 and 4650, to get
4650 = 439 x 10 + 260
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 439 and the new remainder 260, and apply the division lemma to get
439 = 260 x 1 + 179
We consider the new divisor 260 and the new remainder 179,and apply the division lemma to get
260 = 179 x 1 + 81
We consider the new divisor 179 and the new remainder 81,and apply the division lemma to get
179 = 81 x 2 + 17
We consider the new divisor 81 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
81 = 17 x 4 + 13
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 13 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 4 x 3 + 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 4650 and 9739 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(13,4) = HCF(17,13) = HCF(81,17) = HCF(179,81) = HCF(260,179) = HCF(439,260) = HCF(4650,439) = HCF(9739,4650) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
