HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5901, 9424 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5901, 9424 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 5901, 9424 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 5901, 9424 is 1.
HCF(5901, 9424) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5901, 9424 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9424 > 5901, we apply the division lemma to 9424 and 5901, to get
9424 = 5901 x 1 + 3523
Step 2: Since the reminder 5901 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3523 and 5901, to get
5901 = 3523 x 1 + 2378
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3523 and the new remainder 2378, and apply the division lemma to get
3523 = 2378 x 1 + 1145
We consider the new divisor 2378 and the new remainder 1145,and apply the division lemma to get
2378 = 1145 x 2 + 88
We consider the new divisor 1145 and the new remainder 88,and apply the division lemma to get
1145 = 88 x 13 + 1
We consider the new divisor 88 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
88 = 1 x 88 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5901 and 9424 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(88,1) = HCF(1145,88) = HCF(2378,1145) = HCF(3523,2378) = HCF(5901,3523) = HCF(9424,5901) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
