HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 804, 9327 i.e. 3 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 804, 9327 is 3 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 804, 9327 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 804, 9327 is 3.
HCF(804, 9327) = 3
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 804, 9327 is 3.
Step 1: Since 9327 > 804, we apply the division lemma to 9327 and 804, to get
9327 = 804 x 11 + 483
Step 2: Since the reminder 804 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 483 and 804, to get
804 = 483 x 1 + 321
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 483 and the new remainder 321, and apply the division lemma to get
483 = 321 x 1 + 162
We consider the new divisor 321 and the new remainder 162,and apply the division lemma to get
321 = 162 x 1 + 159
We consider the new divisor 162 and the new remainder 159,and apply the division lemma to get
162 = 159 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 159 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
159 = 3 x 53 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 804 and 9327 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(159,3) = HCF(162,159) = HCF(321,162) = HCF(483,321) = HCF(804,483) = HCF(9327,804) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
