HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4766, 1232 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4766, 1232 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 4766, 1232 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 4766, 1232 is 2.
HCF(4766, 1232) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4766, 1232 is 2.
Step 1: Since 4766 > 1232, we apply the division lemma to 4766 and 1232, to get
4766 = 1232 x 3 + 1070
Step 2: Since the reminder 1232 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1070 and 1232, to get
1232 = 1070 x 1 + 162
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1070 and the new remainder 162, and apply the division lemma to get
1070 = 162 x 6 + 98
We consider the new divisor 162 and the new remainder 98,and apply the division lemma to get
162 = 98 x 1 + 64
We consider the new divisor 98 and the new remainder 64,and apply the division lemma to get
98 = 64 x 1 + 34
We consider the new divisor 64 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
64 = 34 x 1 + 30
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 30 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 4 x 7 + 2
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 4766 and 1232 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(30,4) = HCF(34,30) = HCF(64,34) = HCF(98,64) = HCF(162,98) = HCF(1070,162) = HCF(1232,1070) = HCF(4766,1232) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
