HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3594, 8767, 90489 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3594, 8767, 90489 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 3594, 8767, 90489 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 3594, 8767, 90489 is 1.
HCF(3594, 8767, 90489) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3594, 8767, 90489 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8767 > 3594, we apply the division lemma to 8767 and 3594, to get
8767 = 3594 x 2 + 1579
Step 2: Since the reminder 3594 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1579 and 3594, to get
3594 = 1579 x 2 + 436
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1579 and the new remainder 436, and apply the division lemma to get
1579 = 436 x 3 + 271
We consider the new divisor 436 and the new remainder 271,and apply the division lemma to get
436 = 271 x 1 + 165
We consider the new divisor 271 and the new remainder 165,and apply the division lemma to get
271 = 165 x 1 + 106
We consider the new divisor 165 and the new remainder 106,and apply the division lemma to get
165 = 106 x 1 + 59
We consider the new divisor 106 and the new remainder 59,and apply the division lemma to get
106 = 59 x 1 + 47
We consider the new divisor 59 and the new remainder 47,and apply the division lemma to get
59 = 47 x 1 + 12
We consider the new divisor 47 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
47 = 12 x 3 + 11
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 11 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 1 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 3594 and 8767 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(11,1) = HCF(12,11) = HCF(47,12) = HCF(59,47) = HCF(106,59) = HCF(165,106) = HCF(271,165) = HCF(436,271) = HCF(1579,436) = HCF(3594,1579) = HCF(8767,3594) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 90489 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 90489 and 1, to get
90489 = 1 x 90489 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 90489 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(90489,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
