HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 441, 9818, 1750 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 441, 9818, 1750 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 441, 9818, 1750 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 441, 9818, 1750 is 1.
HCF(441, 9818, 1750) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 441, 9818, 1750 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9818 > 441, we apply the division lemma to 9818 and 441, to get
9818 = 441 x 22 + 116
Step 2: Since the reminder 441 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 116 and 441, to get
441 = 116 x 3 + 93
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 116 and the new remainder 93, and apply the division lemma to get
116 = 93 x 1 + 23
We consider the new divisor 93 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
93 = 23 x 4 + 1
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 1 x 23 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 441 and 9818 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(23,1) = HCF(93,23) = HCF(116,93) = HCF(441,116) = HCF(9818,441) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 1750 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 1750 and 1, to get
1750 = 1 x 1750 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 1750 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(1750,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
