HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9657, 2654, 32214 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9657, 2654, 32214 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 9657, 2654, 32214 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 9657, 2654, 32214 is 1.
HCF(9657, 2654, 32214) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9657, 2654, 32214 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9657 > 2654, we apply the division lemma to 9657 and 2654, to get
9657 = 2654 x 3 + 1695
Step 2: Since the reminder 2654 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1695 and 2654, to get
2654 = 1695 x 1 + 959
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1695 and the new remainder 959, and apply the division lemma to get
1695 = 959 x 1 + 736
We consider the new divisor 959 and the new remainder 736,and apply the division lemma to get
959 = 736 x 1 + 223
We consider the new divisor 736 and the new remainder 223,and apply the division lemma to get
736 = 223 x 3 + 67
We consider the new divisor 223 and the new remainder 67,and apply the division lemma to get
223 = 67 x 3 + 22
We consider the new divisor 67 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
67 = 22 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 1 x 22 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 9657 and 2654 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(22,1) = HCF(67,22) = HCF(223,67) = HCF(736,223) = HCF(959,736) = HCF(1695,959) = HCF(2654,1695) = HCF(9657,2654) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 32214 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 32214 and 1, to get
32214 = 1 x 32214 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 32214 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(32214,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
