HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 269, 7987, 9523 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 269, 7987, 9523 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 269, 7987, 9523 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 269, 7987, 9523 is 1.
HCF(269, 7987, 9523) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 269, 7987, 9523 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7987 > 269, we apply the division lemma to 7987 and 269, to get
7987 = 269 x 29 + 186
Step 2: Since the reminder 269 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 186 and 269, to get
269 = 186 x 1 + 83
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 186 and the new remainder 83, and apply the division lemma to get
186 = 83 x 2 + 20
We consider the new divisor 83 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
83 = 20 x 4 + 3
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 3 x 6 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 269 and 7987 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(20,3) = HCF(83,20) = HCF(186,83) = HCF(269,186) = HCF(7987,269) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 9523 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 9523 and 1, to get
9523 = 1 x 9523 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 9523 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(9523,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
