HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9903, 6380 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9903, 6380 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 9903, 6380 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 9903, 6380 is 1.
HCF(9903, 6380) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9903, 6380 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9903 > 6380, we apply the division lemma to 9903 and 6380, to get
9903 = 6380 x 1 + 3523
Step 2: Since the reminder 6380 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3523 and 6380, to get
6380 = 3523 x 1 + 2857
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3523 and the new remainder 2857, and apply the division lemma to get
3523 = 2857 x 1 + 666
We consider the new divisor 2857 and the new remainder 666,and apply the division lemma to get
2857 = 666 x 4 + 193
We consider the new divisor 666 and the new remainder 193,and apply the division lemma to get
666 = 193 x 3 + 87
We consider the new divisor 193 and the new remainder 87,and apply the division lemma to get
193 = 87 x 2 + 19
We consider the new divisor 87 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
87 = 19 x 4 + 11
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 11 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 8 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 3 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 9903 and 6380 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(8,3) = HCF(11,8) = HCF(19,11) = HCF(87,19) = HCF(193,87) = HCF(666,193) = HCF(2857,666) = HCF(3523,2857) = HCF(6380,3523) = HCF(9903,6380) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
