HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9337, 2546, 26110 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9337, 2546, 26110 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 9337, 2546, 26110 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 9337, 2546, 26110 is 1.
HCF(9337, 2546, 26110) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9337, 2546, 26110 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9337 > 2546, we apply the division lemma to 9337 and 2546, to get
9337 = 2546 x 3 + 1699
Step 2: Since the reminder 2546 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1699 and 2546, to get
2546 = 1699 x 1 + 847
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1699 and the new remainder 847, and apply the division lemma to get
1699 = 847 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 847 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
847 = 5 x 169 + 2
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 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 9337 and 2546 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(847,5) = HCF(1699,847) = HCF(2546,1699) = HCF(9337,2546) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 26110 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 26110 and 1, to get
26110 = 1 x 26110 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 26110 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(26110,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
