HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6087, 9418 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6087, 9418 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 6087, 9418 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 6087, 9418 is 1.
HCF(6087, 9418) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6087, 9418 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9418 > 6087, we apply the division lemma to 9418 and 6087, to get
9418 = 6087 x 1 + 3331
Step 2: Since the reminder 6087 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3331 and 6087, to get
6087 = 3331 x 1 + 2756
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3331 and the new remainder 2756, and apply the division lemma to get
3331 = 2756 x 1 + 575
We consider the new divisor 2756 and the new remainder 575,and apply the division lemma to get
2756 = 575 x 4 + 456
We consider the new divisor 575 and the new remainder 456,and apply the division lemma to get
575 = 456 x 1 + 119
We consider the new divisor 456 and the new remainder 119,and apply the division lemma to get
456 = 119 x 3 + 99
We consider the new divisor 119 and the new remainder 99,and apply the division lemma to get
119 = 99 x 1 + 20
We consider the new divisor 99 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
99 = 20 x 4 + 19
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 19 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 1 x 19 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6087 and 9418 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(19,1) = HCF(20,19) = HCF(99,20) = HCF(119,99) = HCF(456,119) = HCF(575,456) = HCF(2756,575) = HCF(3331,2756) = HCF(6087,3331) = HCF(9418,6087) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
