HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 511, 4822, 4494 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 511, 4822, 4494 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 511, 4822, 4494 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 511, 4822, 4494 is 1.
HCF(511, 4822, 4494) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 511, 4822, 4494 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4822 > 511, we apply the division lemma to 4822 and 511, to get
4822 = 511 x 9 + 223
Step 2: Since the reminder 511 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 223 and 511, to get
511 = 223 x 2 + 65
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 223 and the new remainder 65, and apply the division lemma to get
223 = 65 x 3 + 28
We consider the new divisor 65 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
65 = 28 x 2 + 9
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 9 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 1 x 9 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 511 and 4822 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(9,1) = HCF(28,9) = HCF(65,28) = HCF(223,65) = HCF(511,223) = HCF(4822,511) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 4494 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 4494 and 1, to get
4494 = 1 x 4494 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 4494 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4494,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
