HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4821, 383 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4821, 383 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 4821, 383 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 4821, 383 is 1.
HCF(4821, 383) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4821, 383 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4821 > 383, we apply the division lemma to 4821 and 383, to get
4821 = 383 x 12 + 225
Step 2: Since the reminder 383 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 225 and 383, to get
383 = 225 x 1 + 158
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 225 and the new remainder 158, and apply the division lemma to get
225 = 158 x 1 + 67
We consider the new divisor 158 and the new remainder 67,and apply the division lemma to get
158 = 67 x 2 + 24
We consider the new divisor 67 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
67 = 24 x 2 + 19
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 19 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 5 x 3 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4821 and 383 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(19,5) = HCF(24,19) = HCF(67,24) = HCF(158,67) = HCF(225,158) = HCF(383,225) = HCF(4821,383) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
