HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4827, 3447 i.e. 3 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4827, 3447 is 3 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 4827, 3447 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 4827, 3447 is 3.
HCF(4827, 3447) = 3
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4827, 3447 is 3.
Step 1: Since 4827 > 3447, we apply the division lemma to 4827 and 3447, to get
4827 = 3447 x 1 + 1380
Step 2: Since the reminder 3447 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1380 and 3447, to get
3447 = 1380 x 2 + 687
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1380 and the new remainder 687, and apply the division lemma to get
1380 = 687 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 687 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
687 = 6 x 114 + 3
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 3 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 4827 and 3447 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(6,3) = HCF(687,6) = HCF(1380,687) = HCF(3447,1380) = HCF(4827,3447) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
