HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4793, 9330, 56486 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4793, 9330, 56486 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 4793, 9330, 56486 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 4793, 9330, 56486 is 1.
HCF(4793, 9330, 56486) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4793, 9330, 56486 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9330 > 4793, we apply the division lemma to 9330 and 4793, to get
9330 = 4793 x 1 + 4537
Step 2: Since the reminder 4793 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4537 and 4793, to get
4793 = 4537 x 1 + 256
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4537 and the new remainder 256, and apply the division lemma to get
4537 = 256 x 17 + 185
We consider the new divisor 256 and the new remainder 185,and apply the division lemma to get
256 = 185 x 1 + 71
We consider the new divisor 185 and the new remainder 71,and apply the division lemma to get
185 = 71 x 2 + 43
We consider the new divisor 71 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
71 = 43 x 1 + 28
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 28 x 1 + 15
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 15 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 13 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 2 x 6 + 1
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 4793 and 9330 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(13,2) = HCF(15,13) = HCF(28,15) = HCF(43,28) = HCF(71,43) = HCF(185,71) = HCF(256,185) = HCF(4537,256) = HCF(4793,4537) = HCF(9330,4793) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 56486 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 56486 and 1, to get
56486 = 1 x 56486 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 56486 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(56486,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
