HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 898, 3882 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 898, 3882 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 898, 3882 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 898, 3882 is 2.
HCF(898, 3882) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 898, 3882 is 2.
Step 1: Since 3882 > 898, we apply the division lemma to 3882 and 898, to get
3882 = 898 x 4 + 290
Step 2: Since the reminder 898 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 290 and 898, to get
898 = 290 x 3 + 28
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 290 and the new remainder 28, and apply the division lemma to get
290 = 28 x 10 + 10
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 10 x 2 + 8
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 8 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 2 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 898 and 3882 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(8,2) = HCF(10,8) = HCF(28,10) = HCF(290,28) = HCF(898,290) = HCF(3882,898) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
