HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 403, 64197 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 403, 64197 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 403, 64197 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 403, 64197 is 1.
HCF(403, 64197) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 403, 64197 is 1.
Step 1: Since 64197 > 403, we apply the division lemma to 64197 and 403, to get
64197 = 403 x 159 + 120
Step 2: Since the reminder 403 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 120 and 403, to get
403 = 120 x 3 + 43
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 120 and the new remainder 43, and apply the division lemma to get
120 = 43 x 2 + 34
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 34 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 9 x 3 + 7
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 7 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 2 x 3 + 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 403 and 64197 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(9,7) = HCF(34,9) = HCF(43,34) = HCF(120,43) = HCF(403,120) = HCF(64197,403) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
