HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4834, 8797, 96821 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4834, 8797, 96821 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 4834, 8797, 96821 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 4834, 8797, 96821 is 1.
HCF(4834, 8797, 96821) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4834, 8797, 96821 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8797 > 4834, we apply the division lemma to 8797 and 4834, to get
8797 = 4834 x 1 + 3963
Step 2: Since the reminder 4834 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3963 and 4834, to get
4834 = 3963 x 1 + 871
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3963 and the new remainder 871, and apply the division lemma to get
3963 = 871 x 4 + 479
We consider the new divisor 871 and the new remainder 479,and apply the division lemma to get
871 = 479 x 1 + 392
We consider the new divisor 479 and the new remainder 392,and apply the division lemma to get
479 = 392 x 1 + 87
We consider the new divisor 392 and the new remainder 87,and apply the division lemma to get
392 = 87 x 4 + 44
We consider the new divisor 87 and the new remainder 44,and apply the division lemma to get
87 = 44 x 1 + 43
We consider the new divisor 44 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
44 = 43 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 1 x 43 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4834 and 8797 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(43,1) = HCF(44,43) = HCF(87,44) = HCF(392,87) = HCF(479,392) = HCF(871,479) = HCF(3963,871) = HCF(4834,3963) = HCF(8797,4834) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 96821 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 96821 and 1, to get
96821 = 1 x 96821 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 96821 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(96821,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
