HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 1849, 7021, 67009 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 1849, 7021, 67009 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 1849, 7021, 67009 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 1849, 7021, 67009 is 1.
HCF(1849, 7021, 67009) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 1849, 7021, 67009 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7021 > 1849, we apply the division lemma to 7021 and 1849, to get
7021 = 1849 x 3 + 1474
Step 2: Since the reminder 1849 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1474 and 1849, to get
1849 = 1474 x 1 + 375
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1474 and the new remainder 375, and apply the division lemma to get
1474 = 375 x 3 + 349
We consider the new divisor 375 and the new remainder 349,and apply the division lemma to get
375 = 349 x 1 + 26
We consider the new divisor 349 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
349 = 26 x 13 + 11
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 11 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 4 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1849 and 7021 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(11,4) = HCF(26,11) = HCF(349,26) = HCF(375,349) = HCF(1474,375) = HCF(1849,1474) = HCF(7021,1849) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 67009 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 67009 and 1, to get
67009 = 1 x 67009 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 67009 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(67009,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
