HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9145, 2853, 27470 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9145, 2853, 27470 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 9145, 2853, 27470 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 9145, 2853, 27470 is 1.
HCF(9145, 2853, 27470) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9145, 2853, 27470 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9145 > 2853, we apply the division lemma to 9145 and 2853, to get
9145 = 2853 x 3 + 586
Step 2: Since the reminder 2853 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 586 and 2853, to get
2853 = 586 x 4 + 509
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 586 and the new remainder 509, and apply the division lemma to get
586 = 509 x 1 + 77
We consider the new divisor 509 and the new remainder 77,and apply the division lemma to get
509 = 77 x 6 + 47
We consider the new divisor 77 and the new remainder 47,and apply the division lemma to get
77 = 47 x 1 + 30
We consider the new divisor 47 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
47 = 30 x 1 + 17
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 17 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 13 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 4 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 9145 and 2853 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(13,4) = HCF(17,13) = HCF(30,17) = HCF(47,30) = HCF(77,47) = HCF(509,77) = HCF(586,509) = HCF(2853,586) = HCF(9145,2853) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 27470 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 27470 and 1, to get
27470 = 1 x 27470 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 27470 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(27470,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
