HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4891, 8134 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4891, 8134 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 4891, 8134 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 4891, 8134 is 1.
HCF(4891, 8134) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4891, 8134 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8134 > 4891, we apply the division lemma to 8134 and 4891, to get
8134 = 4891 x 1 + 3243
Step 2: Since the reminder 4891 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3243 and 4891, to get
4891 = 3243 x 1 + 1648
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3243 and the new remainder 1648, and apply the division lemma to get
3243 = 1648 x 1 + 1595
We consider the new divisor 1648 and the new remainder 1595,and apply the division lemma to get
1648 = 1595 x 1 + 53
We consider the new divisor 1595 and the new remainder 53,and apply the division lemma to get
1595 = 53 x 30 + 5
We consider the new divisor 53 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
53 = 5 x 10 + 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 4891 and 8134 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(53,5) = HCF(1595,53) = HCF(1648,1595) = HCF(3243,1648) = HCF(4891,3243) = HCF(8134,4891) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
