HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 595, 8462, 4662 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 595, 8462, 4662 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 595, 8462, 4662 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 595, 8462, 4662 is 1.
HCF(595, 8462, 4662) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 595, 8462, 4662 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8462 > 595, we apply the division lemma to 8462 and 595, to get
8462 = 595 x 14 + 132
Step 2: Since the reminder 595 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 132 and 595, to get
595 = 132 x 4 + 67
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 132 and the new remainder 67, and apply the division lemma to get
132 = 67 x 1 + 65
We consider the new divisor 67 and the new remainder 65,and apply the division lemma to get
67 = 65 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 65 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
65 = 2 x 32 + 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 595 and 8462 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(65,2) = HCF(67,65) = HCF(132,67) = HCF(595,132) = HCF(8462,595) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 4662 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 4662 and 1, to get
4662 = 1 x 4662 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 4662 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4662,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
