HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9487, 5078 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9487, 5078 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 9487, 5078 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 9487, 5078 is 1.
HCF(9487, 5078) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9487, 5078 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9487 > 5078, we apply the division lemma to 9487 and 5078, to get
9487 = 5078 x 1 + 4409
Step 2: Since the reminder 5078 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4409 and 5078, to get
5078 = 4409 x 1 + 669
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4409 and the new remainder 669, and apply the division lemma to get
4409 = 669 x 6 + 395
We consider the new divisor 669 and the new remainder 395,and apply the division lemma to get
669 = 395 x 1 + 274
We consider the new divisor 395 and the new remainder 274,and apply the division lemma to get
395 = 274 x 1 + 121
We consider the new divisor 274 and the new remainder 121,and apply the division lemma to get
274 = 121 x 2 + 32
We consider the new divisor 121 and the new remainder 32,and apply the division lemma to get
121 = 32 x 3 + 25
We consider the new divisor 32 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
32 = 25 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 7 x 3 + 4
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 4 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 9487 and 5078 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(7,4) = HCF(25,7) = HCF(32,25) = HCF(121,32) = HCF(274,121) = HCF(395,274) = HCF(669,395) = HCF(4409,669) = HCF(5078,4409) = HCF(9487,5078) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
