HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9032, 6521, 41450 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9032, 6521, 41450 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 9032, 6521, 41450 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 9032, 6521, 41450 is 1.
HCF(9032, 6521, 41450) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9032, 6521, 41450 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9032 > 6521, we apply the division lemma to 9032 and 6521, to get
9032 = 6521 x 1 + 2511
Step 2: Since the reminder 6521 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2511 and 6521, to get
6521 = 2511 x 2 + 1499
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2511 and the new remainder 1499, and apply the division lemma to get
2511 = 1499 x 1 + 1012
We consider the new divisor 1499 and the new remainder 1012,and apply the division lemma to get
1499 = 1012 x 1 + 487
We consider the new divisor 1012 and the new remainder 487,and apply the division lemma to get
1012 = 487 x 2 + 38
We consider the new divisor 487 and the new remainder 38,and apply the division lemma to get
487 = 38 x 12 + 31
We consider the new divisor 38 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
38 = 31 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 7 x 4 + 3
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 3 x 2 + 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 9032 and 6521 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(7,3) = HCF(31,7) = HCF(38,31) = HCF(487,38) = HCF(1012,487) = HCF(1499,1012) = HCF(2511,1499) = HCF(6521,2511) = HCF(9032,6521) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 41450 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 41450 and 1, to get
41450 = 1 x 41450 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 41450 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(41450,1) .
