HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7511, 4677 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7511, 4677 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 7511, 4677 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 7511, 4677 is 1.
HCF(7511, 4677) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7511, 4677 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7511 > 4677, we apply the division lemma to 7511 and 4677, to get
7511 = 4677 x 1 + 2834
Step 2: Since the reminder 4677 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2834 and 4677, to get
4677 = 2834 x 1 + 1843
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2834 and the new remainder 1843, and apply the division lemma to get
2834 = 1843 x 1 + 991
We consider the new divisor 1843 and the new remainder 991,and apply the division lemma to get
1843 = 991 x 1 + 852
We consider the new divisor 991 and the new remainder 852,and apply the division lemma to get
991 = 852 x 1 + 139
We consider the new divisor 852 and the new remainder 139,and apply the division lemma to get
852 = 139 x 6 + 18
We consider the new divisor 139 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
139 = 18 x 7 + 13
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 13 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 5 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 7511 and 4677 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(13,5) = HCF(18,13) = HCF(139,18) = HCF(852,139) = HCF(991,852) = HCF(1843,991) = HCF(2834,1843) = HCF(4677,2834) = HCF(7511,4677) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
