HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9534, 703 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9534, 703 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 9534, 703 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 9534, 703 is 1.
HCF(9534, 703) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9534, 703 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9534 > 703, we apply the division lemma to 9534 and 703, to get
9534 = 703 x 13 + 395
Step 2: Since the reminder 703 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 395 and 703, to get
703 = 395 x 1 + 308
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 395 and the new remainder 308, and apply the division lemma to get
395 = 308 x 1 + 87
We consider the new divisor 308 and the new remainder 87,and apply the division lemma to get
308 = 87 x 3 + 47
We consider the new divisor 87 and the new remainder 47,and apply the division lemma to get
87 = 47 x 1 + 40
We consider the new divisor 47 and the new remainder 40,and apply the division lemma to get
47 = 40 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 40 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
40 = 7 x 5 + 5
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 5 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 9534 and 703 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(7,5) = HCF(40,7) = HCF(47,40) = HCF(87,47) = HCF(308,87) = HCF(395,308) = HCF(703,395) = HCF(9534,703) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
