HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4913, 2407, 33854 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4913, 2407, 33854 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 4913, 2407, 33854 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 4913, 2407, 33854 is 1.
HCF(4913, 2407, 33854) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4913, 2407, 33854 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4913 > 2407, we apply the division lemma to 4913 and 2407, to get
4913 = 2407 x 2 + 99
Step 2: Since the reminder 2407 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 99 and 2407, to get
2407 = 99 x 24 + 31
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 99 and the new remainder 31, and apply the division lemma to get
99 = 31 x 3 + 6
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 6 x 5 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4913 and 2407 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(31,6) = HCF(99,31) = HCF(2407,99) = HCF(4913,2407) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 33854 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 33854 and 1, to get
33854 = 1 x 33854 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 33854 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(33854,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
