HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9042, 3605 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9042, 3605 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 9042, 3605 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 9042, 3605 is 1.
HCF(9042, 3605) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9042, 3605 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9042 > 3605, we apply the division lemma to 9042 and 3605, to get
9042 = 3605 x 2 + 1832
Step 2: Since the reminder 3605 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1832 and 3605, to get
3605 = 1832 x 1 + 1773
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1832 and the new remainder 1773, and apply the division lemma to get
1832 = 1773 x 1 + 59
We consider the new divisor 1773 and the new remainder 59,and apply the division lemma to get
1773 = 59 x 30 + 3
We consider the new divisor 59 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
59 = 3 x 19 + 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 9042 and 3605 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(59,3) = HCF(1773,59) = HCF(1832,1773) = HCF(3605,1832) = HCF(9042,3605) .
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 9042, 3605?
Answer: HCF of 9042, 3605 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 9042, 3605 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 9042, 3605 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
