HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 644, 84220 i.e. 4 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 644, 84220 is 4 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 644, 84220 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 644, 84220 is 4.
HCF(644, 84220) = 4
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 644, 84220 is 4.
Step 1: Since 84220 > 644, we apply the division lemma to 84220 and 644, to get
84220 = 644 x 130 + 500
Step 2: Since the reminder 644 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 500 and 644, to get
644 = 500 x 1 + 144
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 500 and the new remainder 144, and apply the division lemma to get
500 = 144 x 3 + 68
We consider the new divisor 144 and the new remainder 68,and apply the division lemma to get
144 = 68 x 2 + 8
We consider the new divisor 68 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
68 = 8 x 8 + 4
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 4 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 4, the HCF of 644 and 84220 is 4
Notice that 4 = HCF(8,4) = HCF(68,8) = HCF(144,68) = HCF(500,144) = HCF(644,500) = HCF(84220,644) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
