HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9239, 5062 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9239, 5062 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 9239, 5062 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 9239, 5062 is 1.
HCF(9239, 5062) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9239, 5062 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9239 > 5062, we apply the division lemma to 9239 and 5062, to get
9239 = 5062 x 1 + 4177
Step 2: Since the reminder 5062 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4177 and 5062, to get
5062 = 4177 x 1 + 885
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4177 and the new remainder 885, and apply the division lemma to get
4177 = 885 x 4 + 637
We consider the new divisor 885 and the new remainder 637,and apply the division lemma to get
885 = 637 x 1 + 248
We consider the new divisor 637 and the new remainder 248,and apply the division lemma to get
637 = 248 x 2 + 141
We consider the new divisor 248 and the new remainder 141,and apply the division lemma to get
248 = 141 x 1 + 107
We consider the new divisor 141 and the new remainder 107,and apply the division lemma to get
141 = 107 x 1 + 34
We consider the new divisor 107 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
107 = 34 x 3 + 5
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 5 x 6 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 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 9239 and 5062 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(34,5) = HCF(107,34) = HCF(141,107) = HCF(248,141) = HCF(637,248) = HCF(885,637) = HCF(4177,885) = HCF(5062,4177) = HCF(9239,5062) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
