HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9161, 6627 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9161, 6627 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 9161, 6627 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 9161, 6627 is 1.
HCF(9161, 6627) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9161, 6627 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9161 > 6627, we apply the division lemma to 9161 and 6627, to get
9161 = 6627 x 1 + 2534
Step 2: Since the reminder 6627 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2534 and 6627, to get
6627 = 2534 x 2 + 1559
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2534 and the new remainder 1559, and apply the division lemma to get
2534 = 1559 x 1 + 975
We consider the new divisor 1559 and the new remainder 975,and apply the division lemma to get
1559 = 975 x 1 + 584
We consider the new divisor 975 and the new remainder 584,and apply the division lemma to get
975 = 584 x 1 + 391
We consider the new divisor 584 and the new remainder 391,and apply the division lemma to get
584 = 391 x 1 + 193
We consider the new divisor 391 and the new remainder 193,and apply the division lemma to get
391 = 193 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 193 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
193 = 5 x 38 + 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 9161 and 6627 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(193,5) = HCF(391,193) = HCF(584,391) = HCF(975,584) = HCF(1559,975) = HCF(2534,1559) = HCF(6627,2534) = HCF(9161,6627) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
