HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8417, 1317 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8417, 1317 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 8417, 1317 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 8417, 1317 is 1.
HCF(8417, 1317) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8417, 1317 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8417 > 1317, we apply the division lemma to 8417 and 1317, to get
8417 = 1317 x 6 + 515
Step 2: Since the reminder 1317 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 515 and 1317, to get
1317 = 515 x 2 + 287
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 515 and the new remainder 287, and apply the division lemma to get
515 = 287 x 1 + 228
We consider the new divisor 287 and the new remainder 228,and apply the division lemma to get
287 = 228 x 1 + 59
We consider the new divisor 228 and the new remainder 59,and apply the division lemma to get
228 = 59 x 3 + 51
We consider the new divisor 59 and the new remainder 51,and apply the division lemma to get
59 = 51 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 51 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
51 = 8 x 6 + 3
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 3 x 2 + 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 8417 and 1317 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(8,3) = HCF(51,8) = HCF(59,51) = HCF(228,59) = HCF(287,228) = HCF(515,287) = HCF(1317,515) = HCF(8417,1317) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
