HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 627, 9154 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 627, 9154 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 627, 9154 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 627, 9154 is 1.
HCF(627, 9154) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 627, 9154 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9154 > 627, we apply the division lemma to 9154 and 627, to get
9154 = 627 x 14 + 376
Step 2: Since the reminder 627 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 376 and 627, to get
627 = 376 x 1 + 251
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 376 and the new remainder 251, and apply the division lemma to get
376 = 251 x 1 + 125
We consider the new divisor 251 and the new remainder 125,and apply the division lemma to get
251 = 125 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 125 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
125 = 1 x 125 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 627 and 9154 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(125,1) = HCF(251,125) = HCF(376,251) = HCF(627,376) = HCF(9154,627) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
