HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7218, 9059 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7218, 9059 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 7218, 9059 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 7218, 9059 is 1.
HCF(7218, 9059) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7218, 9059 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9059 > 7218, we apply the division lemma to 9059 and 7218, to get
9059 = 7218 x 1 + 1841
Step 2: Since the reminder 7218 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1841 and 7218, to get
7218 = 1841 x 3 + 1695
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1841 and the new remainder 1695, and apply the division lemma to get
1841 = 1695 x 1 + 146
We consider the new divisor 1695 and the new remainder 146,and apply the division lemma to get
1695 = 146 x 11 + 89
We consider the new divisor 146 and the new remainder 89,and apply the division lemma to get
146 = 89 x 1 + 57
We consider the new divisor 89 and the new remainder 57,and apply the division lemma to get
89 = 57 x 1 + 32
We consider the new divisor 57 and the new remainder 32,and apply the division lemma to get
57 = 32 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 32 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
32 = 25 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 7 x 3 + 4
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 4 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 7218 and 9059 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(7,4) = HCF(25,7) = HCF(32,25) = HCF(57,32) = HCF(89,57) = HCF(146,89) = HCF(1695,146) = HCF(1841,1695) = HCF(7218,1841) = HCF(9059,7218) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
