HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 846, 64907 i.e. 47 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 846, 64907 is 47 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 846, 64907 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 846, 64907 is 47.
HCF(846, 64907) = 47
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 846, 64907 is 47.
Step 1: Since 64907 > 846, we apply the division lemma to 64907 and 846, to get
64907 = 846 x 76 + 611
Step 2: Since the reminder 846 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 611 and 846, to get
846 = 611 x 1 + 235
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 611 and the new remainder 235, and apply the division lemma to get
611 = 235 x 2 + 141
We consider the new divisor 235 and the new remainder 141,and apply the division lemma to get
235 = 141 x 1 + 94
We consider the new divisor 141 and the new remainder 94,and apply the division lemma to get
141 = 94 x 1 + 47
We consider the new divisor 94 and the new remainder 47,and apply the division lemma to get
94 = 47 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 47, the HCF of 846 and 64907 is 47
Notice that 47 = HCF(94,47) = HCF(141,94) = HCF(235,141) = HCF(611,235) = HCF(846,611) = HCF(64907,846) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
