HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 211, 97975 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 211, 97975 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 211, 97975 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 211, 97975 is 1.
HCF(211, 97975) = 1
HCF of 211, 97975 using Euclid's algorithm
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 211, 97975 is 1.
Highest Common Factor of 211,97975 is 1
Step 1: Since 97975 > 211, we apply the division lemma to 97975 and 211, to get
97975 = 211 x 464 + 71
Step 2: Since the reminder 211 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 71 and 211, to get
211 = 71 x 2 + 69
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 71 and the new remainder 69, and apply the division lemma to get
71 = 69 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 69 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
69 = 2 x 34 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 211 and 97975 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(69,2) = HCF(71,69) = HCF(211,71) = HCF(97975,211) .
