HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9387, 4463 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9387, 4463 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 9387, 4463 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 9387, 4463 is 1.
HCF(9387, 4463) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9387, 4463 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9387 > 4463, we apply the division lemma to 9387 and 4463, to get
9387 = 4463 x 2 + 461
Step 2: Since the reminder 4463 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 461 and 4463, to get
4463 = 461 x 9 + 314
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 461 and the new remainder 314, and apply the division lemma to get
461 = 314 x 1 + 147
We consider the new divisor 314 and the new remainder 147,and apply the division lemma to get
314 = 147 x 2 + 20
We consider the new divisor 147 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
147 = 20 x 7 + 7
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 7 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 6 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 9387 and 4463 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(7,6) = HCF(20,7) = HCF(147,20) = HCF(314,147) = HCF(461,314) = HCF(4463,461) = HCF(9387,4463) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
