HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7817, 9298, 92109 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7817, 9298, 92109 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 7817, 9298, 92109 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 7817, 9298, 92109 is 1.
HCF(7817, 9298, 92109) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7817, 9298, 92109 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9298 > 7817, we apply the division lemma to 9298 and 7817, to get
9298 = 7817 x 1 + 1481
Step 2: Since the reminder 7817 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1481 and 7817, to get
7817 = 1481 x 5 + 412
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1481 and the new remainder 412, and apply the division lemma to get
1481 = 412 x 3 + 245
We consider the new divisor 412 and the new remainder 245,and apply the division lemma to get
412 = 245 x 1 + 167
We consider the new divisor 245 and the new remainder 167,and apply the division lemma to get
245 = 167 x 1 + 78
We consider the new divisor 167 and the new remainder 78,and apply the division lemma to get
167 = 78 x 2 + 11
We consider the new divisor 78 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
78 = 11 x 7 + 1
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 1 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 7817 and 9298 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(11,1) = HCF(78,11) = HCF(167,78) = HCF(245,167) = HCF(412,245) = HCF(1481,412) = HCF(7817,1481) = HCF(9298,7817) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 92109 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 92109 and 1, to get
92109 = 1 x 92109 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 92109 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(92109,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
