HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 913, 9798 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 913, 9798 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 913, 9798 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 913, 9798 is 1.
HCF(913, 9798) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 913, 9798 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9798 > 913, we apply the division lemma to 9798 and 913, to get
9798 = 913 x 10 + 668
Step 2: Since the reminder 913 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 668 and 913, to get
913 = 668 x 1 + 245
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 668 and the new remainder 245, and apply the division lemma to get
668 = 245 x 2 + 178
We consider the new divisor 245 and the new remainder 178,and apply the division lemma to get
245 = 178 x 1 + 67
We consider the new divisor 178 and the new remainder 67,and apply the division lemma to get
178 = 67 x 2 + 44
We consider the new divisor 67 and the new remainder 44,and apply the division lemma to get
67 = 44 x 1 + 23
We consider the new divisor 44 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
44 = 23 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 21 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 2 x 10 + 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 913 and 9798 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(21,2) = HCF(23,21) = HCF(44,23) = HCF(67,44) = HCF(178,67) = HCF(245,178) = HCF(668,245) = HCF(913,668) = HCF(9798,913) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
