HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7928, 1383 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7928, 1383 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 7928, 1383 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 7928, 1383 is 1.
HCF(7928, 1383) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7928, 1383 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7928 > 1383, we apply the division lemma to 7928 and 1383, to get
7928 = 1383 x 5 + 1013
Step 2: Since the reminder 1383 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1013 and 1383, to get
1383 = 1013 x 1 + 370
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1013 and the new remainder 370, and apply the division lemma to get
1013 = 370 x 2 + 273
We consider the new divisor 370 and the new remainder 273,and apply the division lemma to get
370 = 273 x 1 + 97
We consider the new divisor 273 and the new remainder 97,and apply the division lemma to get
273 = 97 x 2 + 79
We consider the new divisor 97 and the new remainder 79,and apply the division lemma to get
97 = 79 x 1 + 18
We consider the new divisor 79 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
79 = 18 x 4 + 7
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 7 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 4 x 1 + 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 7928 and 1383 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(7,4) = HCF(18,7) = HCF(79,18) = HCF(97,79) = HCF(273,97) = HCF(370,273) = HCF(1013,370) = HCF(1383,1013) = HCF(7928,1383) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
