HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4744, 9998 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4744, 9998 is 2 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 4744, 9998 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 4744, 9998 is 2.
HCF(4744, 9998) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4744, 9998 is 2.
Step 1: Since 9998 > 4744, we apply the division lemma to 9998 and 4744, to get
9998 = 4744 x 2 + 510
Step 2: Since the reminder 4744 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 510 and 4744, to get
4744 = 510 x 9 + 154
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 510 and the new remainder 154, and apply the division lemma to get
510 = 154 x 3 + 48
We consider the new divisor 154 and the new remainder 48,and apply the division lemma to get
154 = 48 x 3 + 10
We consider the new divisor 48 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
48 = 10 x 4 + 8
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 8 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 2 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 4744 and 9998 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(8,2) = HCF(10,8) = HCF(48,10) = HCF(154,48) = HCF(510,154) = HCF(4744,510) = HCF(9998,4744) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 4744, 9998?
Answer: HCF of 4744, 9998 is 2 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 4744, 9998 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 4744, 9998 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
