HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9329, 1419, 72487 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9329, 1419, 72487 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 9329, 1419, 72487 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 9329, 1419, 72487 is 1.
HCF(9329, 1419, 72487) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9329, 1419, 72487 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9329 > 1419, we apply the division lemma to 9329 and 1419, to get
9329 = 1419 x 6 + 815
Step 2: Since the reminder 1419 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 815 and 1419, to get
1419 = 815 x 1 + 604
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 815 and the new remainder 604, and apply the division lemma to get
815 = 604 x 1 + 211
We consider the new divisor 604 and the new remainder 211,and apply the division lemma to get
604 = 211 x 2 + 182
We consider the new divisor 211 and the new remainder 182,and apply the division lemma to get
211 = 182 x 1 + 29
We consider the new divisor 182 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
182 = 29 x 6 + 8
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 8 x 3 + 5
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 5 x 1 + 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 9329 and 1419 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(8,5) = HCF(29,8) = HCF(182,29) = HCF(211,182) = HCF(604,211) = HCF(815,604) = HCF(1419,815) = HCF(9329,1419) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 72487 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 72487 and 1, to get
72487 = 1 x 72487 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 72487 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(72487,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
