HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8835, 3391 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8835, 3391 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 8835, 3391 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 8835, 3391 is 1.
HCF(8835, 3391) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8835, 3391 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8835 > 3391, we apply the division lemma to 8835 and 3391, to get
8835 = 3391 x 2 + 2053
Step 2: Since the reminder 3391 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2053 and 3391, to get
3391 = 2053 x 1 + 1338
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2053 and the new remainder 1338, and apply the division lemma to get
2053 = 1338 x 1 + 715
We consider the new divisor 1338 and the new remainder 715,and apply the division lemma to get
1338 = 715 x 1 + 623
We consider the new divisor 715 and the new remainder 623,and apply the division lemma to get
715 = 623 x 1 + 92
We consider the new divisor 623 and the new remainder 92,and apply the division lemma to get
623 = 92 x 6 + 71
We consider the new divisor 92 and the new remainder 71,and apply the division lemma to get
92 = 71 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 71 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
71 = 21 x 3 + 8
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 8 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 5 x 1 + 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 8835 and 3391 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(8,5) = HCF(21,8) = HCF(71,21) = HCF(92,71) = HCF(623,92) = HCF(715,623) = HCF(1338,715) = HCF(2053,1338) = HCF(3391,2053) = HCF(8835,3391) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
