HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2336, 9649 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2336, 9649 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 2336, 9649 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 2336, 9649 is 1.
HCF(2336, 9649) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2336, 9649 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9649 > 2336, we apply the division lemma to 9649 and 2336, to get
9649 = 2336 x 4 + 305
Step 2: Since the reminder 2336 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 305 and 2336, to get
2336 = 305 x 7 + 201
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 305 and the new remainder 201, and apply the division lemma to get
305 = 201 x 1 + 104
We consider the new divisor 201 and the new remainder 104,and apply the division lemma to get
201 = 104 x 1 + 97
We consider the new divisor 104 and the new remainder 97,and apply the division lemma to get
104 = 97 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 97 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
97 = 7 x 13 + 6
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 6 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2336 and 9649 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(7,6) = HCF(97,7) = HCF(104,97) = HCF(201,104) = HCF(305,201) = HCF(2336,305) = HCF(9649,2336) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
