HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 807, 6144, 9058 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 807, 6144, 9058 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 807, 6144, 9058 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 807, 6144, 9058 is 1.
HCF(807, 6144, 9058) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 807, 6144, 9058 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6144 > 807, we apply the division lemma to 6144 and 807, to get
6144 = 807 x 7 + 495
Step 2: Since the reminder 807 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 495 and 807, to get
807 = 495 x 1 + 312
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 495 and the new remainder 312, and apply the division lemma to get
495 = 312 x 1 + 183
We consider the new divisor 312 and the new remainder 183,and apply the division lemma to get
312 = 183 x 1 + 129
We consider the new divisor 183 and the new remainder 129,and apply the division lemma to get
183 = 129 x 1 + 54
We consider the new divisor 129 and the new remainder 54,and apply the division lemma to get
129 = 54 x 2 + 21
We consider the new divisor 54 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
54 = 21 x 2 + 12
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 12 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 9 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 3 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 807 and 6144 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(9,3) = HCF(12,9) = HCF(21,12) = HCF(54,21) = HCF(129,54) = HCF(183,129) = HCF(312,183) = HCF(495,312) = HCF(807,495) = HCF(6144,807) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 9058 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 9058 and 3, to get
9058 = 3 x 3019 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 3, 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 3 and 9058 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(9058,3) .
