HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9141, 5141 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9141, 5141 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 9141, 5141 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 9141, 5141 is 1.
HCF(9141, 5141) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9141, 5141 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9141 > 5141, we apply the division lemma to 9141 and 5141, to get
9141 = 5141 x 1 + 4000
Step 2: Since the reminder 5141 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4000 and 5141, to get
5141 = 4000 x 1 + 1141
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4000 and the new remainder 1141, and apply the division lemma to get
4000 = 1141 x 3 + 577
We consider the new divisor 1141 and the new remainder 577,and apply the division lemma to get
1141 = 577 x 1 + 564
We consider the new divisor 577 and the new remainder 564,and apply the division lemma to get
577 = 564 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 564 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
564 = 13 x 43 + 5
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 5 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 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 9141 and 5141 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(13,5) = HCF(564,13) = HCF(577,564) = HCF(1141,577) = HCF(4000,1141) = HCF(5141,4000) = HCF(9141,5141) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
