HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3357, 9620, 80600 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3357, 9620, 80600 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 3357, 9620, 80600 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 3357, 9620, 80600 is 1.
HCF(3357, 9620, 80600) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3357, 9620, 80600 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9620 > 3357, we apply the division lemma to 9620 and 3357, to get
9620 = 3357 x 2 + 2906
Step 2: Since the reminder 3357 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2906 and 3357, to get
3357 = 2906 x 1 + 451
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2906 and the new remainder 451, and apply the division lemma to get
2906 = 451 x 6 + 200
We consider the new divisor 451 and the new remainder 200,and apply the division lemma to get
451 = 200 x 2 + 51
We consider the new divisor 200 and the new remainder 51,and apply the division lemma to get
200 = 51 x 3 + 47
We consider the new divisor 51 and the new remainder 47,and apply the division lemma to get
51 = 47 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 47 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
47 = 4 x 11 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 3357 and 9620 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(47,4) = HCF(51,47) = HCF(200,51) = HCF(451,200) = HCF(2906,451) = HCF(3357,2906) = HCF(9620,3357) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 80600 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 80600 and 1, to get
80600 = 1 x 80600 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 80600 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(80600,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
