HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7504, 8430, 35919 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7504, 8430, 35919 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 7504, 8430, 35919 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 7504, 8430, 35919 is 1.
HCF(7504, 8430, 35919) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7504, 8430, 35919 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8430 > 7504, we apply the division lemma to 8430 and 7504, to get
8430 = 7504 x 1 + 926
Step 2: Since the reminder 7504 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 926 and 7504, to get
7504 = 926 x 8 + 96
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 926 and the new remainder 96, and apply the division lemma to get
926 = 96 x 9 + 62
We consider the new divisor 96 and the new remainder 62,and apply the division lemma to get
96 = 62 x 1 + 34
We consider the new divisor 62 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
62 = 34 x 1 + 28
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 28 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 6 x 4 + 4
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 4 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 7504 and 8430 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(6,4) = HCF(28,6) = HCF(34,28) = HCF(62,34) = HCF(96,62) = HCF(926,96) = HCF(7504,926) = HCF(8430,7504) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 35919 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 35919 and 2, to get
35919 = 2 x 17959 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, 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 2 and 35919 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(35919,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
