HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9719, 5272 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9719, 5272 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 9719, 5272 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 9719, 5272 is 1.
HCF(9719, 5272) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9719, 5272 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9719 > 5272, we apply the division lemma to 9719 and 5272, to get
9719 = 5272 x 1 + 4447
Step 2: Since the reminder 5272 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4447 and 5272, to get
5272 = 4447 x 1 + 825
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4447 and the new remainder 825, and apply the division lemma to get
4447 = 825 x 5 + 322
We consider the new divisor 825 and the new remainder 322,and apply the division lemma to get
825 = 322 x 2 + 181
We consider the new divisor 322 and the new remainder 181,and apply the division lemma to get
322 = 181 x 1 + 141
We consider the new divisor 181 and the new remainder 141,and apply the division lemma to get
181 = 141 x 1 + 40
We consider the new divisor 141 and the new remainder 40,and apply the division lemma to get
141 = 40 x 3 + 21
We consider the new divisor 40 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
40 = 21 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 19 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 2 x 9 + 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 9719 and 5272 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(19,2) = HCF(21,19) = HCF(40,21) = HCF(141,40) = HCF(181,141) = HCF(322,181) = HCF(825,322) = HCF(4447,825) = HCF(5272,4447) = HCF(9719,5272) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
