HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9685, 5439 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9685, 5439 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 9685, 5439 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 9685, 5439 is 1.
HCF(9685, 5439) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9685, 5439 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9685 > 5439, we apply the division lemma to 9685 and 5439, to get
9685 = 5439 x 1 + 4246
Step 2: Since the reminder 5439 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4246 and 5439, to get
5439 = 4246 x 1 + 1193
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4246 and the new remainder 1193, and apply the division lemma to get
4246 = 1193 x 3 + 667
We consider the new divisor 1193 and the new remainder 667,and apply the division lemma to get
1193 = 667 x 1 + 526
We consider the new divisor 667 and the new remainder 526,and apply the division lemma to get
667 = 526 x 1 + 141
We consider the new divisor 526 and the new remainder 141,and apply the division lemma to get
526 = 141 x 3 + 103
We consider the new divisor 141 and the new remainder 103,and apply the division lemma to get
141 = 103 x 1 + 38
We consider the new divisor 103 and the new remainder 38,and apply the division lemma to get
103 = 38 x 2 + 27
We consider the new divisor 38 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
38 = 27 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 11 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 5 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 9685 and 5439 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(11,5) = HCF(27,11) = HCF(38,27) = HCF(103,38) = HCF(141,103) = HCF(526,141) = HCF(667,526) = HCF(1193,667) = HCF(4246,1193) = HCF(5439,4246) = HCF(9685,5439) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
