HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4844, 7653, 11682 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4844, 7653, 11682 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 4844, 7653, 11682 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 4844, 7653, 11682 is 1.
HCF(4844, 7653, 11682) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4844, 7653, 11682 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7653 > 4844, we apply the division lemma to 7653 and 4844, to get
7653 = 4844 x 1 + 2809
Step 2: Since the reminder 4844 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2809 and 4844, to get
4844 = 2809 x 1 + 2035
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2809 and the new remainder 2035, and apply the division lemma to get
2809 = 2035 x 1 + 774
We consider the new divisor 2035 and the new remainder 774,and apply the division lemma to get
2035 = 774 x 2 + 487
We consider the new divisor 774 and the new remainder 487,and apply the division lemma to get
774 = 487 x 1 + 287
We consider the new divisor 487 and the new remainder 287,and apply the division lemma to get
487 = 287 x 1 + 200
We consider the new divisor 287 and the new remainder 200,and apply the division lemma to get
287 = 200 x 1 + 87
We consider the new divisor 200 and the new remainder 87,and apply the division lemma to get
200 = 87 x 2 + 26
We consider the new divisor 87 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
87 = 26 x 3 + 9
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 9 x 2 + 8
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 8 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 1 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4844 and 7653 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(9,8) = HCF(26,9) = HCF(87,26) = HCF(200,87) = HCF(287,200) = HCF(487,287) = HCF(774,487) = HCF(2035,774) = HCF(2809,2035) = HCF(4844,2809) = HCF(7653,4844) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 11682 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 11682 and 1, to get
11682 = 1 x 11682 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 11682 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(11682,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
