HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8617, 9064 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8617, 9064 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 8617, 9064 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 8617, 9064 is 1.
HCF(8617, 9064) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8617, 9064 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9064 > 8617, we apply the division lemma to 9064 and 8617, to get
9064 = 8617 x 1 + 447
Step 2: Since the reminder 8617 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 447 and 8617, to get
8617 = 447 x 19 + 124
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 447 and the new remainder 124, and apply the division lemma to get
447 = 124 x 3 + 75
We consider the new divisor 124 and the new remainder 75,and apply the division lemma to get
124 = 75 x 1 + 49
We consider the new divisor 75 and the new remainder 49,and apply the division lemma to get
75 = 49 x 1 + 26
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 26 x 1 + 23
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 23 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 3 x 7 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma 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 8617 and 9064 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(23,3) = HCF(26,23) = HCF(49,26) = HCF(75,49) = HCF(124,75) = HCF(447,124) = HCF(8617,447) = HCF(9064,8617) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 8617, 9064?
Answer: HCF of 8617, 9064 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 8617, 9064 using Euclid's Algorithm?
