HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9434, 1228 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9434, 1228 is 2 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 9434, 1228 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 9434, 1228 is 2.
HCF(9434, 1228) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9434, 1228 is 2.
Step 1: Since 9434 > 1228, we apply the division lemma to 9434 and 1228, to get
9434 = 1228 x 7 + 838
Step 2: Since the reminder 1228 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 838 and 1228, to get
1228 = 838 x 1 + 390
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 838 and the new remainder 390, and apply the division lemma to get
838 = 390 x 2 + 58
We consider the new divisor 390 and the new remainder 58,and apply the division lemma to get
390 = 58 x 6 + 42
We consider the new divisor 58 and the new remainder 42,and apply the division lemma to get
58 = 42 x 1 + 16
We consider the new divisor 42 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
42 = 16 x 2 + 10
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 10 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 6 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 4 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 9434 and 1228 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(6,4) = HCF(10,6) = HCF(16,10) = HCF(42,16) = HCF(58,42) = HCF(390,58) = HCF(838,390) = HCF(1228,838) = HCF(9434,1228) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
