HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8286, 9224, 30355 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8286, 9224, 30355 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 8286, 9224, 30355 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 8286, 9224, 30355 is 1.
HCF(8286, 9224, 30355) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8286, 9224, 30355 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9224 > 8286, we apply the division lemma to 9224 and 8286, to get
9224 = 8286 x 1 + 938
Step 2: Since the reminder 8286 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 938 and 8286, to get
8286 = 938 x 8 + 782
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 938 and the new remainder 782, and apply the division lemma to get
938 = 782 x 1 + 156
We consider the new divisor 782 and the new remainder 156,and apply the division lemma to get
782 = 156 x 5 + 2
We consider the new divisor 156 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
156 = 2 x 78 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 8286 and 9224 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(156,2) = HCF(782,156) = HCF(938,782) = HCF(8286,938) = HCF(9224,8286) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 30355 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 30355 and 2, to get
30355 = 2 x 15177 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2 and 30355 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(30355,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
