HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9288, 5631 i.e. 3 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9288, 5631 is 3 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 9288, 5631 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 9288, 5631 is 3.
HCF(9288, 5631) = 3
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9288, 5631 is 3.
Step 1: Since 9288 > 5631, we apply the division lemma to 9288 and 5631, to get
9288 = 5631 x 1 + 3657
Step 2: Since the reminder 5631 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3657 and 5631, to get
5631 = 3657 x 1 + 1974
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3657 and the new remainder 1974, and apply the division lemma to get
3657 = 1974 x 1 + 1683
We consider the new divisor 1974 and the new remainder 1683,and apply the division lemma to get
1974 = 1683 x 1 + 291
We consider the new divisor 1683 and the new remainder 291,and apply the division lemma to get
1683 = 291 x 5 + 228
We consider the new divisor 291 and the new remainder 228,and apply the division lemma to get
291 = 228 x 1 + 63
We consider the new divisor 228 and the new remainder 63,and apply the division lemma to get
228 = 63 x 3 + 39
We consider the new divisor 63 and the new remainder 39,and apply the division lemma to get
63 = 39 x 1 + 24
We consider the new divisor 39 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
39 = 24 x 1 + 15
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 15 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 9 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 6 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 3 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 9288 and 5631 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(6,3) = HCF(9,6) = HCF(15,9) = HCF(24,15) = HCF(39,24) = HCF(63,39) = HCF(228,63) = HCF(291,228) = HCF(1683,291) = HCF(1974,1683) = HCF(3657,1974) = HCF(5631,3657) = HCF(9288,5631) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
