HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9778, 8549, 44653 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9778, 8549, 44653 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 9778, 8549, 44653 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 9778, 8549, 44653 is 1.
HCF(9778, 8549, 44653) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9778, 8549, 44653 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9778 > 8549, we apply the division lemma to 9778 and 8549, to get
9778 = 8549 x 1 + 1229
Step 2: Since the reminder 8549 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1229 and 8549, to get
8549 = 1229 x 6 + 1175
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1229 and the new remainder 1175, and apply the division lemma to get
1229 = 1175 x 1 + 54
We consider the new divisor 1175 and the new remainder 54,and apply the division lemma to get
1175 = 54 x 21 + 41
We consider the new divisor 54 and the new remainder 41,and apply the division lemma to get
54 = 41 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 13 x 3 + 2
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 2 x 6 + 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 9778 and 8549 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(13,2) = HCF(41,13) = HCF(54,41) = HCF(1175,54) = HCF(1229,1175) = HCF(8549,1229) = HCF(9778,8549) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 44653 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 44653 and 1, to get
44653 = 1 x 44653 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 44653 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(44653,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
