HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 1927, 3561, 69071 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 1927, 3561, 69071 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 1927, 3561, 69071 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 1927, 3561, 69071 is 1.
HCF(1927, 3561, 69071) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 1927, 3561, 69071 is 1.
Step 1: Since 3561 > 1927, we apply the division lemma to 3561 and 1927, to get
3561 = 1927 x 1 + 1634
Step 2: Since the reminder 1927 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1634 and 1927, to get
1927 = 1634 x 1 + 293
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1634 and the new remainder 293, and apply the division lemma to get
1634 = 293 x 5 + 169
We consider the new divisor 293 and the new remainder 169,and apply the division lemma to get
293 = 169 x 1 + 124
We consider the new divisor 169 and the new remainder 124,and apply the division lemma to get
169 = 124 x 1 + 45
We consider the new divisor 124 and the new remainder 45,and apply the division lemma to get
124 = 45 x 2 + 34
We consider the new divisor 45 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
45 = 34 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 11 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 1 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1927 and 3561 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(11,1) = HCF(34,11) = HCF(45,34) = HCF(124,45) = HCF(169,124) = HCF(293,169) = HCF(1634,293) = HCF(1927,1634) = HCF(3561,1927) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 69071 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 69071 and 1, to get
69071 = 1 x 69071 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 69071 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(69071,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
