HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6827, 4869 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6827, 4869 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 6827, 4869 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 6827, 4869 is 1.
HCF(6827, 4869) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6827, 4869 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6827 > 4869, we apply the division lemma to 6827 and 4869, to get
6827 = 4869 x 1 + 1958
Step 2: Since the reminder 4869 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1958 and 4869, to get
4869 = 1958 x 2 + 953
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1958 and the new remainder 953, and apply the division lemma to get
1958 = 953 x 2 + 52
We consider the new divisor 953 and the new remainder 52,and apply the division lemma to get
953 = 52 x 18 + 17
We consider the new divisor 52 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
52 = 17 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 1 x 17 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6827 and 4869 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(17,1) = HCF(52,17) = HCF(953,52) = HCF(1958,953) = HCF(4869,1958) = HCF(6827,4869) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 6827, 4869?
Answer: HCF of 6827, 4869 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 6827, 4869 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 6827, 4869 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
