HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9508, 9048, 46197 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9508, 9048, 46197 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 9508, 9048, 46197 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 9508, 9048, 46197 is 1.
HCF(9508, 9048, 46197) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9508, 9048, 46197 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9508 > 9048, we apply the division lemma to 9508 and 9048, to get
9508 = 9048 x 1 + 460
Step 2: Since the reminder 9048 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 460 and 9048, to get
9048 = 460 x 19 + 308
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 460 and the new remainder 308, and apply the division lemma to get
460 = 308 x 1 + 152
We consider the new divisor 308 and the new remainder 152,and apply the division lemma to get
308 = 152 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 152 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
152 = 4 x 38 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 4, the HCF of 9508 and 9048 is 4
Notice that 4 = HCF(152,4) = HCF(308,152) = HCF(460,308) = HCF(9048,460) = HCF(9508,9048) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 46197 > 4, we apply the division lemma to 46197 and 4, to get
46197 = 4 x 11549 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 4 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 4, to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4 and 46197 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(46197,4) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
