HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 941, 41819 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 941, 41819 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 941, 41819 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 941, 41819 is 1.
HCF(941, 41819) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 941, 41819 is 1.
Step 1: Since 41819 > 941, we apply the division lemma to 41819 and 941, to get
41819 = 941 x 44 + 415
Step 2: Since the reminder 941 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 415 and 941, to get
941 = 415 x 2 + 111
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 415 and the new remainder 111, and apply the division lemma to get
415 = 111 x 3 + 82
We consider the new divisor 111 and the new remainder 82,and apply the division lemma to get
111 = 82 x 1 + 29
We consider the new divisor 82 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
82 = 29 x 2 + 24
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 24 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 5 x 4 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 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 941 and 41819 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(24,5) = HCF(29,24) = HCF(82,29) = HCF(111,82) = HCF(415,111) = HCF(941,415) = HCF(41819,941) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
