HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8068, 4431 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8068, 4431 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 8068, 4431 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 8068, 4431 is 1.
HCF(8068, 4431) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8068, 4431 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8068 > 4431, we apply the division lemma to 8068 and 4431, to get
8068 = 4431 x 1 + 3637
Step 2: Since the reminder 4431 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3637 and 4431, to get
4431 = 3637 x 1 + 794
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3637 and the new remainder 794, and apply the division lemma to get
3637 = 794 x 4 + 461
We consider the new divisor 794 and the new remainder 461,and apply the division lemma to get
794 = 461 x 1 + 333
We consider the new divisor 461 and the new remainder 333,and apply the division lemma to get
461 = 333 x 1 + 128
We consider the new divisor 333 and the new remainder 128,and apply the division lemma to get
333 = 128 x 2 + 77
We consider the new divisor 128 and the new remainder 77,and apply the division lemma to get
128 = 77 x 1 + 51
We consider the new divisor 77 and the new remainder 51,and apply the division lemma to get
77 = 51 x 1 + 26
We consider the new divisor 51 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
51 = 26 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 25 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 1 x 25 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 8068 and 4431 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(25,1) = HCF(26,25) = HCF(51,26) = HCF(77,51) = HCF(128,77) = HCF(333,128) = HCF(461,333) = HCF(794,461) = HCF(3637,794) = HCF(4431,3637) = HCF(8068,4431) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
