HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 692, 28747 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 692, 28747 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 692, 28747 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 692, 28747 is 1.
HCF(692, 28747) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 692, 28747 is 1.
Step 1: Since 28747 > 692, we apply the division lemma to 28747 and 692, to get
28747 = 692 x 41 + 375
Step 2: Since the reminder 692 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 375 and 692, to get
692 = 375 x 1 + 317
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 375 and the new remainder 317, and apply the division lemma to get
375 = 317 x 1 + 58
We consider the new divisor 317 and the new remainder 58,and apply the division lemma to get
317 = 58 x 5 + 27
We consider the new divisor 58 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
58 = 27 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 4 x 6 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 692 and 28747 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(27,4) = HCF(58,27) = HCF(317,58) = HCF(375,317) = HCF(692,375) = HCF(28747,692) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
