HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 206, 9005 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 206, 9005 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 206, 9005 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 206, 9005 is 1.
HCF(206, 9005) = 1
HCF of 206, 9005 using Euclid's algorithm
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 206, 9005 is 1.
Highest Common Factor of 206,9005 is 1
Step 1: Since 9005 > 206, we apply the division lemma to 9005 and 206, to get
9005 = 206 x 43 + 147
Step 2: Since the reminder 206 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 147 and 206, to get
206 = 147 x 1 + 59
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 147 and the new remainder 59, and apply the division lemma to get
147 = 59 x 2 + 29
We consider the new divisor 59 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
59 = 29 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 1 x 29 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 206 and 9005 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(29,1) = HCF(59,29) = HCF(147,59) = HCF(206,147) = HCF(9005,206) .
