HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7547, 9912 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7547, 9912 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 7547, 9912 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 7547, 9912 is 1.
HCF(7547, 9912) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7547, 9912 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9912 > 7547, we apply the division lemma to 9912 and 7547, to get
9912 = 7547 x 1 + 2365
Step 2: Since the reminder 7547 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2365 and 7547, to get
7547 = 2365 x 3 + 452
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2365 and the new remainder 452, and apply the division lemma to get
2365 = 452 x 5 + 105
We consider the new divisor 452 and the new remainder 105,and apply the division lemma to get
452 = 105 x 4 + 32
We consider the new divisor 105 and the new remainder 32,and apply the division lemma to get
105 = 32 x 3 + 9
We consider the new divisor 32 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
32 = 9 x 3 + 5
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 5 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 7547 and 9912 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(9,5) = HCF(32,9) = HCF(105,32) = HCF(452,105) = HCF(2365,452) = HCF(7547,2365) = HCF(9912,7547) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
