HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7963, 6121, 87133 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7963, 6121, 87133 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 7963, 6121, 87133 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 7963, 6121, 87133 is 1.
HCF(7963, 6121, 87133) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7963, 6121, 87133 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7963 > 6121, we apply the division lemma to 7963 and 6121, to get
7963 = 6121 x 1 + 1842
Step 2: Since the reminder 6121 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1842 and 6121, to get
6121 = 1842 x 3 + 595
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1842 and the new remainder 595, and apply the division lemma to get
1842 = 595 x 3 + 57
We consider the new divisor 595 and the new remainder 57,and apply the division lemma to get
595 = 57 x 10 + 25
We consider the new divisor 57 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
57 = 25 x 2 + 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 7963 and 6121 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(7,4) = HCF(25,7) = HCF(57,25) = HCF(595,57) = HCF(1842,595) = HCF(6121,1842) = HCF(7963,6121) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 87133 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 87133 and 1, to get
87133 = 1 x 87133 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 87133 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(87133,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
