HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9514, 7339 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9514, 7339 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 9514, 7339 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 9514, 7339 is 1.
HCF(9514, 7339) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9514, 7339 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9514 > 7339, we apply the division lemma to 9514 and 7339, to get
9514 = 7339 x 1 + 2175
Step 2: Since the reminder 7339 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2175 and 7339, to get
7339 = 2175 x 3 + 814
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2175 and the new remainder 814, and apply the division lemma to get
2175 = 814 x 2 + 547
We consider the new divisor 814 and the new remainder 547,and apply the division lemma to get
814 = 547 x 1 + 267
We consider the new divisor 547 and the new remainder 267,and apply the division lemma to get
547 = 267 x 2 + 13
We consider the new divisor 267 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
267 = 13 x 20 + 7
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 7 x 1 + 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 9514 and 7339 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(7,6) = HCF(13,7) = HCF(267,13) = HCF(547,267) = HCF(814,547) = HCF(2175,814) = HCF(7339,2175) = HCF(9514,7339) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
