HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8283, 424 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8283, 424 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 8283, 424 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 8283, 424 is 1.
HCF(8283, 424) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8283, 424 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8283 > 424, we apply the division lemma to 8283 and 424, to get
8283 = 424 x 19 + 227
Step 2: Since the reminder 424 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 227 and 424, to get
424 = 227 x 1 + 197
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 227 and the new remainder 197, and apply the division lemma to get
227 = 197 x 1 + 30
We consider the new divisor 197 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
197 = 30 x 6 + 17
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 17 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 13 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 4 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 8283 and 424 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(13,4) = HCF(17,13) = HCF(30,17) = HCF(197,30) = HCF(227,197) = HCF(424,227) = HCF(8283,424) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
