HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3111, 7933, 84204 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3111, 7933, 84204 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 3111, 7933, 84204 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 3111, 7933, 84204 is 1.
HCF(3111, 7933, 84204) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3111, 7933, 84204 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7933 > 3111, we apply the division lemma to 7933 and 3111, to get
7933 = 3111 x 2 + 1711
Step 2: Since the reminder 3111 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1711 and 3111, to get
3111 = 1711 x 1 + 1400
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1711 and the new remainder 1400, and apply the division lemma to get
1711 = 1400 x 1 + 311
We consider the new divisor 1400 and the new remainder 311,and apply the division lemma to get
1400 = 311 x 4 + 156
We consider the new divisor 311 and the new remainder 156,and apply the division lemma to get
311 = 156 x 1 + 155
We consider the new divisor 156 and the new remainder 155,and apply the division lemma to get
156 = 155 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 155 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
155 = 1 x 155 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 3111 and 7933 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(155,1) = HCF(156,155) = HCF(311,156) = HCF(1400,311) = HCF(1711,1400) = HCF(3111,1711) = HCF(7933,3111) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 84204 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 84204 and 1, to get
84204 = 1 x 84204 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 84204 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(84204,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
