HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9497, 8730, 87598 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9497, 8730, 87598 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 9497, 8730, 87598 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 9497, 8730, 87598 is 1.
HCF(9497, 8730, 87598) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9497, 8730, 87598 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9497 > 8730, we apply the division lemma to 9497 and 8730, to get
9497 = 8730 x 1 + 767
Step 2: Since the reminder 8730 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 767 and 8730, to get
8730 = 767 x 11 + 293
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 767 and the new remainder 293, and apply the division lemma to get
767 = 293 x 2 + 181
We consider the new divisor 293 and the new remainder 181,and apply the division lemma to get
293 = 181 x 1 + 112
We consider the new divisor 181 and the new remainder 112,and apply the division lemma to get
181 = 112 x 1 + 69
We consider the new divisor 112 and the new remainder 69,and apply the division lemma to get
112 = 69 x 1 + 43
We consider the new divisor 69 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
69 = 43 x 1 + 26
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 26 x 1 + 17
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 17 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 9 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 8 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 1 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 9497 and 8730 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(9,8) = HCF(17,9) = HCF(26,17) = HCF(43,26) = HCF(69,43) = HCF(112,69) = HCF(181,112) = HCF(293,181) = HCF(767,293) = HCF(8730,767) = HCF(9497,8730) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 87598 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 87598 and 1, to get
87598 = 1 x 87598 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 87598 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(87598,1) .
