HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8834, 2654 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8834, 2654 is 2 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 8834, 2654 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 8834, 2654 is 2.
HCF(8834, 2654) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8834, 2654 is 2.
Step 1: Since 8834 > 2654, we apply the division lemma to 8834 and 2654, to get
8834 = 2654 x 3 + 872
Step 2: Since the reminder 2654 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 872 and 2654, to get
2654 = 872 x 3 + 38
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 872 and the new remainder 38, and apply the division lemma to get
872 = 38 x 22 + 36
We consider the new divisor 38 and the new remainder 36,and apply the division lemma to get
38 = 36 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 36 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
36 = 2 x 18 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 8834 and 2654 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(36,2) = HCF(38,36) = HCF(872,38) = HCF(2654,872) = HCF(8834,2654) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
