HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8554, 683 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8554, 683 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 8554, 683 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 8554, 683 is 1.
HCF(8554, 683) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8554, 683 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8554 > 683, we apply the division lemma to 8554 and 683, to get
8554 = 683 x 12 + 358
Step 2: Since the reminder 683 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 358 and 683, to get
683 = 358 x 1 + 325
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 358 and the new remainder 325, and apply the division lemma to get
358 = 325 x 1 + 33
We consider the new divisor 325 and the new remainder 33,and apply the division lemma to get
325 = 33 x 9 + 28
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 28 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 5 x 5 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 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 8554 and 683 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(28,5) = HCF(33,28) = HCF(325,33) = HCF(358,325) = HCF(683,358) = HCF(8554,683) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
