HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3005, 8393, 99437 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3005, 8393, 99437 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 3005, 8393, 99437 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 3005, 8393, 99437 is 1.
HCF(3005, 8393, 99437) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3005, 8393, 99437 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8393 > 3005, we apply the division lemma to 8393 and 3005, to get
8393 = 3005 x 2 + 2383
Step 2: Since the reminder 3005 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2383 and 3005, to get
3005 = 2383 x 1 + 622
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2383 and the new remainder 622, and apply the division lemma to get
2383 = 622 x 3 + 517
We consider the new divisor 622 and the new remainder 517,and apply the division lemma to get
622 = 517 x 1 + 105
We consider the new divisor 517 and the new remainder 105,and apply the division lemma to get
517 = 105 x 4 + 97
We consider the new divisor 105 and the new remainder 97,and apply the division lemma to get
105 = 97 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 97 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
97 = 8 x 12 + 1
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 1 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 3005 and 8393 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(97,8) = HCF(105,97) = HCF(517,105) = HCF(622,517) = HCF(2383,622) = HCF(3005,2383) = HCF(8393,3005) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 99437 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 99437 and 1, to get
99437 = 1 x 99437 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 99437 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(99437,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
