HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4753, 6685, 82681 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4753, 6685, 82681 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 4753, 6685, 82681 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 4753, 6685, 82681 is 1.
HCF(4753, 6685, 82681) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4753, 6685, 82681 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6685 > 4753, we apply the division lemma to 6685 and 4753, to get
6685 = 4753 x 1 + 1932
Step 2: Since the reminder 4753 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1932 and 4753, to get
4753 = 1932 x 2 + 889
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1932 and the new remainder 889, and apply the division lemma to get
1932 = 889 x 2 + 154
We consider the new divisor 889 and the new remainder 154,and apply the division lemma to get
889 = 154 x 5 + 119
We consider the new divisor 154 and the new remainder 119,and apply the division lemma to get
154 = 119 x 1 + 35
We consider the new divisor 119 and the new remainder 35,and apply the division lemma to get
119 = 35 x 3 + 14
We consider the new divisor 35 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
35 = 14 x 2 + 7
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 7 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 7, the HCF of 4753 and 6685 is 7
Notice that 7 = HCF(14,7) = HCF(35,14) = HCF(119,35) = HCF(154,119) = HCF(889,154) = HCF(1932,889) = HCF(4753,1932) = HCF(6685,4753) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 82681 > 7, we apply the division lemma to 82681 and 7, to get
82681 = 7 x 11811 + 4
Step 2: Since the reminder 7 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4 and 7, to get
7 = 4 x 1 + 3
Step 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 7 and 82681 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(7,4) = HCF(82681,7) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
