HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4708, 5169 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4708, 5169 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 4708, 5169 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 4708, 5169 is 1.
HCF(4708, 5169) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4708, 5169 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5169 > 4708, we apply the division lemma to 5169 and 4708, to get
5169 = 4708 x 1 + 461
Step 2: Since the reminder 4708 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 461 and 4708, to get
4708 = 461 x 10 + 98
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 461 and the new remainder 98, and apply the division lemma to get
461 = 98 x 4 + 69
We consider the new divisor 98 and the new remainder 69,and apply the division lemma to get
98 = 69 x 1 + 29
We consider the new divisor 69 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
69 = 29 x 2 + 11
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 11 x 2 + 7
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 7 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 4 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4708 and 5169 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(7,4) = HCF(11,7) = HCF(29,11) = HCF(69,29) = HCF(98,69) = HCF(461,98) = HCF(4708,461) = HCF(5169,4708) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
