HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8764, 3433 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8764, 3433 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 8764, 3433 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 8764, 3433 is 1.
HCF(8764, 3433) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8764, 3433 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8764 > 3433, we apply the division lemma to 8764 and 3433, to get
8764 = 3433 x 2 + 1898
Step 2: Since the reminder 3433 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1898 and 3433, to get
3433 = 1898 x 1 + 1535
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1898 and the new remainder 1535, and apply the division lemma to get
1898 = 1535 x 1 + 363
We consider the new divisor 1535 and the new remainder 363,and apply the division lemma to get
1535 = 363 x 4 + 83
We consider the new divisor 363 and the new remainder 83,and apply the division lemma to get
363 = 83 x 4 + 31
We consider the new divisor 83 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
83 = 31 x 2 + 21
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 21 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 10 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 1 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 8764 and 3433 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(21,10) = HCF(31,21) = HCF(83,31) = HCF(363,83) = HCF(1535,363) = HCF(1898,1535) = HCF(3433,1898) = HCF(8764,3433) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
