HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9218, 4478 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9218, 4478 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 9218, 4478 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 9218, 4478 is 2.
HCF(9218, 4478) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9218, 4478 is 2.
Step 1: Since 9218 > 4478, we apply the division lemma to 9218 and 4478, to get
9218 = 4478 x 2 + 262
Step 2: Since the reminder 4478 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 262 and 4478, to get
4478 = 262 x 17 + 24
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 262 and the new remainder 24, and apply the division lemma to get
262 = 24 x 10 + 22
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 22 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 2 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 9218 and 4478 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(22,2) = HCF(24,22) = HCF(262,24) = HCF(4478,262) = HCF(9218,4478) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
