HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2423, 9716 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2423, 9716 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 2423, 9716 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 2423, 9716 is 1.
HCF(2423, 9716) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2423, 9716 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9716 > 2423, we apply the division lemma to 9716 and 2423, to get
9716 = 2423 x 4 + 24
Step 2: Since the reminder 2423 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 24 and 2423, to get
2423 = 24 x 100 + 23
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 23, and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 23 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 1 x 23 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2423 and 9716 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(23,1) = HCF(24,23) = HCF(2423,24) = HCF(9716,2423) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 2423, 9716?
Answer: HCF of 2423, 9716 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 2423, 9716 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 2423, 9716 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
