HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4673, 8332, 28305 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4673, 8332, 28305 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 4673, 8332, 28305 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 4673, 8332, 28305 is 1.
HCF(4673, 8332, 28305) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4673, 8332, 28305 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8332 > 4673, we apply the division lemma to 8332 and 4673, to get
8332 = 4673 x 1 + 3659
Step 2: Since the reminder 4673 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3659 and 4673, to get
4673 = 3659 x 1 + 1014
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3659 and the new remainder 1014, and apply the division lemma to get
3659 = 1014 x 3 + 617
We consider the new divisor 1014 and the new remainder 617,and apply the division lemma to get
1014 = 617 x 1 + 397
We consider the new divisor 617 and the new remainder 397,and apply the division lemma to get
617 = 397 x 1 + 220
We consider the new divisor 397 and the new remainder 220,and apply the division lemma to get
397 = 220 x 1 + 177
We consider the new divisor 220 and the new remainder 177,and apply the division lemma to get
220 = 177 x 1 + 43
We consider the new divisor 177 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
177 = 43 x 4 + 5
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 5 x 8 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 4673 and 8332 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(43,5) = HCF(177,43) = HCF(220,177) = HCF(397,220) = HCF(617,397) = HCF(1014,617) = HCF(3659,1014) = HCF(4673,3659) = HCF(8332,4673) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 28305 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 28305 and 1, to get
28305 = 1 x 28305 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 28305 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(28305,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
