HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8859, 9676 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8859, 9676 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 8859, 9676 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 8859, 9676 is 1.
HCF(8859, 9676) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8859, 9676 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9676 > 8859, we apply the division lemma to 9676 and 8859, to get
9676 = 8859 x 1 + 817
Step 2: Since the reminder 8859 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 817 and 8859, to get
8859 = 817 x 10 + 689
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 817 and the new remainder 689, and apply the division lemma to get
817 = 689 x 1 + 128
We consider the new divisor 689 and the new remainder 128,and apply the division lemma to get
689 = 128 x 5 + 49
We consider the new divisor 128 and the new remainder 49,and apply the division lemma to get
128 = 49 x 2 + 30
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 30 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 19 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 11 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 8 x 1 + 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 8859 and 9676 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(8,3) = HCF(11,8) = HCF(19,11) = HCF(30,19) = HCF(49,30) = HCF(128,49) = HCF(689,128) = HCF(817,689) = HCF(8859,817) = HCF(9676,8859) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
