HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8488, 9775 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8488, 9775 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 8488, 9775 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 8488, 9775 is 1.
HCF(8488, 9775) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8488, 9775 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9775 > 8488, we apply the division lemma to 9775 and 8488, to get
9775 = 8488 x 1 + 1287
Step 2: Since the reminder 8488 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1287 and 8488, to get
8488 = 1287 x 6 + 766
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1287 and the new remainder 766, and apply the division lemma to get
1287 = 766 x 1 + 521
We consider the new divisor 766 and the new remainder 521,and apply the division lemma to get
766 = 521 x 1 + 245
We consider the new divisor 521 and the new remainder 245,and apply the division lemma to get
521 = 245 x 2 + 31
We consider the new divisor 245 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
245 = 31 x 7 + 28
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 28 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 3 x 9 + 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 8488 and 9775 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(28,3) = HCF(31,28) = HCF(245,31) = HCF(521,245) = HCF(766,521) = HCF(1287,766) = HCF(8488,1287) = HCF(9775,8488) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
