HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4861, 1369 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4861, 1369 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 4861, 1369 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 4861, 1369 is 1.
HCF(4861, 1369) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4861, 1369 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4861 > 1369, we apply the division lemma to 4861 and 1369, to get
4861 = 1369 x 3 + 754
Step 2: Since the reminder 1369 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 754 and 1369, to get
1369 = 754 x 1 + 615
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 754 and the new remainder 615, and apply the division lemma to get
754 = 615 x 1 + 139
We consider the new divisor 615 and the new remainder 139,and apply the division lemma to get
615 = 139 x 4 + 59
We consider the new divisor 139 and the new remainder 59,and apply the division lemma to get
139 = 59 x 2 + 21
We consider the new divisor 59 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
59 = 21 x 2 + 17
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 17 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 4 x 4 + 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 4861 and 1369 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(17,4) = HCF(21,17) = HCF(59,21) = HCF(139,59) = HCF(615,139) = HCF(754,615) = HCF(1369,754) = HCF(4861,1369) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
