HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7669, 8812 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7669, 8812 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 7669, 8812 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 7669, 8812 is 1.
HCF(7669, 8812) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7669, 8812 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8812 > 7669, we apply the division lemma to 8812 and 7669, to get
8812 = 7669 x 1 + 1143
Step 2: Since the reminder 7669 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1143 and 7669, to get
7669 = 1143 x 6 + 811
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1143 and the new remainder 811, and apply the division lemma to get
1143 = 811 x 1 + 332
We consider the new divisor 811 and the new remainder 332,and apply the division lemma to get
811 = 332 x 2 + 147
We consider the new divisor 332 and the new remainder 147,and apply the division lemma to get
332 = 147 x 2 + 38
We consider the new divisor 147 and the new remainder 38,and apply the division lemma to get
147 = 38 x 3 + 33
We consider the new divisor 38 and the new remainder 33,and apply the division lemma to get
38 = 33 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 5 x 6 + 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 7669 and 8812 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(33,5) = HCF(38,33) = HCF(147,38) = HCF(332,147) = HCF(811,332) = HCF(1143,811) = HCF(7669,1143) = HCF(8812,7669) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
