HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8836, 9741 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8836, 9741 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 8836, 9741 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 8836, 9741 is 1.
HCF(8836, 9741) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8836, 9741 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9741 > 8836, we apply the division lemma to 9741 and 8836, to get
9741 = 8836 x 1 + 905
Step 2: Since the reminder 8836 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 905 and 8836, to get
8836 = 905 x 9 + 691
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 905 and the new remainder 691, and apply the division lemma to get
905 = 691 x 1 + 214
We consider the new divisor 691 and the new remainder 214,and apply the division lemma to get
691 = 214 x 3 + 49
We consider the new divisor 214 and the new remainder 49,and apply the division lemma to get
214 = 49 x 4 + 18
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 18 x 2 + 13
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 13 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 5 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 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 8836 and 9741 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(13,5) = HCF(18,13) = HCF(49,18) = HCF(214,49) = HCF(691,214) = HCF(905,691) = HCF(8836,905) = HCF(9741,8836) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
