HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9789, 3364, 97709 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9789, 3364, 97709 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 9789, 3364, 97709 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 9789, 3364, 97709 is 1.
HCF(9789, 3364, 97709) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9789, 3364, 97709 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9789 > 3364, we apply the division lemma to 9789 and 3364, to get
9789 = 3364 x 2 + 3061
Step 2: Since the reminder 3364 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3061 and 3364, to get
3364 = 3061 x 1 + 303
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3061 and the new remainder 303, and apply the division lemma to get
3061 = 303 x 10 + 31
We consider the new divisor 303 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
303 = 31 x 9 + 24
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 24 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 7 x 3 + 3
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 3 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 9789 and 3364 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(7,3) = HCF(24,7) = HCF(31,24) = HCF(303,31) = HCF(3061,303) = HCF(3364,3061) = HCF(9789,3364) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 97709 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 97709 and 1, to get
97709 = 1 x 97709 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 97709 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(97709,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
