HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8819, 2954 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8819, 2954 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 8819, 2954 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 8819, 2954 is 1.
HCF(8819, 2954) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8819, 2954 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8819 > 2954, we apply the division lemma to 8819 and 2954, to get
8819 = 2954 x 2 + 2911
Step 2: Since the reminder 2954 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2911 and 2954, to get
2954 = 2911 x 1 + 43
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2911 and the new remainder 43, and apply the division lemma to get
2911 = 43 x 67 + 30
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 30 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 13 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 4 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 8819 and 2954 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(13,4) = HCF(30,13) = HCF(43,30) = HCF(2911,43) = HCF(2954,2911) = HCF(8819,2954) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 8819, 2954?
Answer: HCF of 8819, 2954 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 8819, 2954 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 8819, 2954 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
