HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4663, 8991 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4663, 8991 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 4663, 8991 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 4663, 8991 is 1.
HCF(4663, 8991) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4663, 8991 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8991 > 4663, we apply the division lemma to 8991 and 4663, to get
8991 = 4663 x 1 + 4328
Step 2: Since the reminder 4663 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4328 and 4663, to get
4663 = 4328 x 1 + 335
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4328 and the new remainder 335, and apply the division lemma to get
4328 = 335 x 12 + 308
We consider the new divisor 335 and the new remainder 308,and apply the division lemma to get
335 = 308 x 1 + 27
We consider the new divisor 308 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
308 = 27 x 11 + 11
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 11 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 5 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4663 and 8991 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(11,5) = HCF(27,11) = HCF(308,27) = HCF(335,308) = HCF(4328,335) = HCF(4663,4328) = HCF(8991,4663) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
