HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 636, 94649 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 636, 94649 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 636, 94649 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 636, 94649 is 1.
HCF(636, 94649) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 636, 94649 is 1.
Step 1: Since 94649 > 636, we apply the division lemma to 94649 and 636, to get
94649 = 636 x 148 + 521
Step 2: Since the reminder 636 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 521 and 636, to get
636 = 521 x 1 + 115
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 521 and the new remainder 115, and apply the division lemma to get
521 = 115 x 4 + 61
We consider the new divisor 115 and the new remainder 61,and apply the division lemma to get
115 = 61 x 1 + 54
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 54,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 54 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 54 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
54 = 7 x 7 + 5
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 5 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 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 636 and 94649 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(7,5) = HCF(54,7) = HCF(61,54) = HCF(115,61) = HCF(521,115) = HCF(636,521) = HCF(94649,636) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
