HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 935, 9014, 9550 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 935, 9014, 9550 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 935, 9014, 9550 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 935, 9014, 9550 is 1.
HCF(935, 9014, 9550) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 935, 9014, 9550 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9014 > 935, we apply the division lemma to 9014 and 935, to get
9014 = 935 x 9 + 599
Step 2: Since the reminder 935 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 599 and 935, to get
935 = 599 x 1 + 336
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 599 and the new remainder 336, and apply the division lemma to get
599 = 336 x 1 + 263
We consider the new divisor 336 and the new remainder 263,and apply the division lemma to get
336 = 263 x 1 + 73
We consider the new divisor 263 and the new remainder 73,and apply the division lemma to get
263 = 73 x 3 + 44
We consider the new divisor 73 and the new remainder 44,and apply the division lemma to get
73 = 44 x 1 + 29
We consider the new divisor 44 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
44 = 29 x 1 + 15
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 15 x 1 + 14
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 14 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 1 x 14 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 935 and 9014 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(14,1) = HCF(15,14) = HCF(29,15) = HCF(44,29) = HCF(73,44) = HCF(263,73) = HCF(336,263) = HCF(599,336) = HCF(935,599) = HCF(9014,935) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 9550 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 9550 and 1, to get
9550 = 1 x 9550 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 9550 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(9550,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
