HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4695, 8301, 25835 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4695, 8301, 25835 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 4695, 8301, 25835 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 4695, 8301, 25835 is 1.
HCF(4695, 8301, 25835) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4695, 8301, 25835 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8301 > 4695, we apply the division lemma to 8301 and 4695, to get
8301 = 4695 x 1 + 3606
Step 2: Since the reminder 4695 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3606 and 4695, to get
4695 = 3606 x 1 + 1089
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3606 and the new remainder 1089, and apply the division lemma to get
3606 = 1089 x 3 + 339
We consider the new divisor 1089 and the new remainder 339,and apply the division lemma to get
1089 = 339 x 3 + 72
We consider the new divisor 339 and the new remainder 72,and apply the division lemma to get
339 = 72 x 4 + 51
We consider the new divisor 72 and the new remainder 51,and apply the division lemma to get
72 = 51 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 51 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
51 = 21 x 2 + 9
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 9 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 3 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 4695 and 8301 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(9,3) = HCF(21,9) = HCF(51,21) = HCF(72,51) = HCF(339,72) = HCF(1089,339) = HCF(3606,1089) = HCF(4695,3606) = HCF(8301,4695) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 25835 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 25835 and 3, to get
25835 = 3 x 8611 + 2
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2 and 3, to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
Step 3: 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 3 and 25835 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(25835,3) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
