HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9653, 842 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9653, 842 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 9653, 842 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 9653, 842 is 1.
HCF(9653, 842) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9653, 842 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9653 > 842, we apply the division lemma to 9653 and 842, to get
9653 = 842 x 11 + 391
Step 2: Since the reminder 842 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 391 and 842, to get
842 = 391 x 2 + 60
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 391 and the new remainder 60, and apply the division lemma to get
391 = 60 x 6 + 31
We consider the new divisor 60 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
60 = 31 x 1 + 29
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 29 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 2 x 14 + 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 9653 and 842 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(29,2) = HCF(31,29) = HCF(60,31) = HCF(391,60) = HCF(842,391) = HCF(9653,842) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
