HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9615, 5385, 60062 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9615, 5385, 60062 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 9615, 5385, 60062 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 9615, 5385, 60062 is 1.
HCF(9615, 5385, 60062) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9615, 5385, 60062 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9615 > 5385, we apply the division lemma to 9615 and 5385, to get
9615 = 5385 x 1 + 4230
Step 2: Since the reminder 5385 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4230 and 5385, to get
5385 = 4230 x 1 + 1155
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4230 and the new remainder 1155, and apply the division lemma to get
4230 = 1155 x 3 + 765
We consider the new divisor 1155 and the new remainder 765,and apply the division lemma to get
1155 = 765 x 1 + 390
We consider the new divisor 765 and the new remainder 390,and apply the division lemma to get
765 = 390 x 1 + 375
We consider the new divisor 390 and the new remainder 375,and apply the division lemma to get
390 = 375 x 1 + 15
We consider the new divisor 375 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
375 = 15 x 25 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 15, the HCF of 9615 and 5385 is 15
Notice that 15 = HCF(375,15) = HCF(390,375) = HCF(765,390) = HCF(1155,765) = HCF(4230,1155) = HCF(5385,4230) = HCF(9615,5385) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 60062 > 15, we apply the division lemma to 60062 and 15, to get
60062 = 15 x 4004 + 2
Step 2: Since the reminder 15 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2 and 15, to get
15 = 2 x 7 + 1
Step 3: 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 15 and 60062 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(15,2) = HCF(60062,15) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
