HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 911, 2644, 2339 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 911, 2644, 2339 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 911, 2644, 2339 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 911, 2644, 2339 is 1.
HCF(911, 2644, 2339) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 911, 2644, 2339 is 1.
Step 1: Since 2644 > 911, we apply the division lemma to 2644 and 911, to get
2644 = 911 x 2 + 822
Step 2: Since the reminder 911 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 822 and 911, to get
911 = 822 x 1 + 89
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 822 and the new remainder 89, and apply the division lemma to get
822 = 89 x 9 + 21
We consider the new divisor 89 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
89 = 21 x 4 + 5
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 5 x 4 + 1
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 911 and 2644 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(21,5) = HCF(89,21) = HCF(822,89) = HCF(911,822) = HCF(2644,911) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 2339 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 2339 and 1, to get
2339 = 1 x 2339 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 2339 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2339,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
