HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 943, 2041, 4455 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 943, 2041, 4455 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 943, 2041, 4455 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 943, 2041, 4455 is 1.
HCF(943, 2041, 4455) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 943, 2041, 4455 is 1.
Step 1: Since 2041 > 943, we apply the division lemma to 2041 and 943, to get
2041 = 943 x 2 + 155
Step 2: Since the reminder 943 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 155 and 943, to get
943 = 155 x 6 + 13
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 155 and the new remainder 13, and apply the division lemma to get
155 = 13 x 11 + 12
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 12 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 1 x 12 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 943 and 2041 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(12,1) = HCF(13,12) = HCF(155,13) = HCF(943,155) = HCF(2041,943) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 4455 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 4455 and 1, to get
4455 = 1 x 4455 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 4455 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4455,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
