HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 906, 6081, 9370 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 906, 6081, 9370 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 906, 6081, 9370 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 906, 6081, 9370 is 1.
HCF(906, 6081, 9370) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 906, 6081, 9370 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6081 > 906, we apply the division lemma to 6081 and 906, to get
6081 = 906 x 6 + 645
Step 2: Since the reminder 906 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 645 and 906, to get
906 = 645 x 1 + 261
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 645 and the new remainder 261, and apply the division lemma to get
645 = 261 x 2 + 123
We consider the new divisor 261 and the new remainder 123,and apply the division lemma to get
261 = 123 x 2 + 15
We consider the new divisor 123 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
123 = 15 x 8 + 3
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 3 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 906 and 6081 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(15,3) = HCF(123,15) = HCF(261,123) = HCF(645,261) = HCF(906,645) = HCF(6081,906) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 9370 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 9370 and 3, to get
9370 = 3 x 3123 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 3, 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 3 and 9370 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(9370,3) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
