HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8737, 8944 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8737, 8944 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 8737, 8944 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 8737, 8944 is 1.
HCF(8737, 8944) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8737, 8944 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8944 > 8737, we apply the division lemma to 8944 and 8737, to get
8944 = 8737 x 1 + 207
Step 2: Since the reminder 8737 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 207 and 8737, to get
8737 = 207 x 42 + 43
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 207 and the new remainder 43, and apply the division lemma to get
207 = 43 x 4 + 35
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 35,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 35 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 35 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
35 = 8 x 4 + 3
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 3 x 2 + 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 8737 and 8944 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(8,3) = HCF(35,8) = HCF(43,35) = HCF(207,43) = HCF(8737,207) = HCF(8944,8737) .
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 8737, 8944?
Answer: HCF of 8737, 8944 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 8737, 8944 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 8737, 8944 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
