HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4921, 8809 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4921, 8809 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 4921, 8809 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 4921, 8809 is 1.
HCF(4921, 8809) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4921, 8809 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8809 > 4921, we apply the division lemma to 8809 and 4921, to get
8809 = 4921 x 1 + 3888
Step 2: Since the reminder 4921 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3888 and 4921, to get
4921 = 3888 x 1 + 1033
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3888 and the new remainder 1033, and apply the division lemma to get
3888 = 1033 x 3 + 789
We consider the new divisor 1033 and the new remainder 789,and apply the division lemma to get
1033 = 789 x 1 + 244
We consider the new divisor 789 and the new remainder 244,and apply the division lemma to get
789 = 244 x 3 + 57
We consider the new divisor 244 and the new remainder 57,and apply the division lemma to get
244 = 57 x 4 + 16
We consider the new divisor 57 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
57 = 16 x 3 + 9
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 9 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 7 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 2 x 3 + 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 4921 and 8809 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(9,7) = HCF(16,9) = HCF(57,16) = HCF(244,57) = HCF(789,244) = HCF(1033,789) = HCF(3888,1033) = HCF(4921,3888) = HCF(8809,4921) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
