HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8230, 5341, 97070 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8230, 5341, 97070 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 8230, 5341, 97070 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 8230, 5341, 97070 is 1.
HCF(8230, 5341, 97070) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8230, 5341, 97070 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8230 > 5341, we apply the division lemma to 8230 and 5341, to get
8230 = 5341 x 1 + 2889
Step 2: Since the reminder 5341 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2889 and 5341, to get
5341 = 2889 x 1 + 2452
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2889 and the new remainder 2452, and apply the division lemma to get
2889 = 2452 x 1 + 437
We consider the new divisor 2452 and the new remainder 437,and apply the division lemma to get
2452 = 437 x 5 + 267
We consider the new divisor 437 and the new remainder 267,and apply the division lemma to get
437 = 267 x 1 + 170
We consider the new divisor 267 and the new remainder 170,and apply the division lemma to get
267 = 170 x 1 + 97
We consider the new divisor 170 and the new remainder 97,and apply the division lemma to get
170 = 97 x 1 + 73
We consider the new divisor 97 and the new remainder 73,and apply the division lemma to get
97 = 73 x 1 + 24
We consider the new divisor 73 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
73 = 24 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 1 x 24 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 8230 and 5341 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(24,1) = HCF(73,24) = HCF(97,73) = HCF(170,97) = HCF(267,170) = HCF(437,267) = HCF(2452,437) = HCF(2889,2452) = HCF(5341,2889) = HCF(8230,5341) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 97070 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 97070 and 1, to get
97070 = 1 x 97070 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 97070 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(97070,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
