HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8578, 4877 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8578, 4877 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 8578, 4877 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 8578, 4877 is 1.
HCF(8578, 4877) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8578, 4877 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8578 > 4877, we apply the division lemma to 8578 and 4877, to get
8578 = 4877 x 1 + 3701
Step 2: Since the reminder 4877 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3701 and 4877, to get
4877 = 3701 x 1 + 1176
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3701 and the new remainder 1176, and apply the division lemma to get
3701 = 1176 x 3 + 173
We consider the new divisor 1176 and the new remainder 173,and apply the division lemma to get
1176 = 173 x 6 + 138
We consider the new divisor 173 and the new remainder 138,and apply the division lemma to get
173 = 138 x 1 + 35
We consider the new divisor 138 and the new remainder 35,and apply the division lemma to get
138 = 35 x 3 + 33
We consider the new divisor 35 and the new remainder 33,and apply the division lemma to get
35 = 33 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 2 x 16 + 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 8578 and 4877 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(33,2) = HCF(35,33) = HCF(138,35) = HCF(173,138) = HCF(1176,173) = HCF(3701,1176) = HCF(4877,3701) = HCF(8578,4877) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
