HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4874, 2195 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4874, 2195 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 4874, 2195 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 4874, 2195 is 1.
HCF(4874, 2195) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4874, 2195 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4874 > 2195, we apply the division lemma to 4874 and 2195, to get
4874 = 2195 x 2 + 484
Step 2: Since the reminder 2195 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 484 and 2195, to get
2195 = 484 x 4 + 259
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 484 and the new remainder 259, and apply the division lemma to get
484 = 259 x 1 + 225
We consider the new divisor 259 and the new remainder 225,and apply the division lemma to get
259 = 225 x 1 + 34
We consider the new divisor 225 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
225 = 34 x 6 + 21
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 21 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 13 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 8 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 5 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4874 and 2195 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(8,5) = HCF(13,8) = HCF(21,13) = HCF(34,21) = HCF(225,34) = HCF(259,225) = HCF(484,259) = HCF(2195,484) = HCF(4874,2195) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
