HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9912, 3335 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9912, 3335 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 9912, 3335 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 9912, 3335 is 1.
HCF(9912, 3335) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9912, 3335 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9912 > 3335, we apply the division lemma to 9912 and 3335, to get
9912 = 3335 x 2 + 3242
Step 2: Since the reminder 3335 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3242 and 3335, to get
3335 = 3242 x 1 + 93
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3242 and the new remainder 93, and apply the division lemma to get
3242 = 93 x 34 + 80
We consider the new divisor 93 and the new remainder 80,and apply the division lemma to get
93 = 80 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 80 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
80 = 13 x 6 + 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 9912 and 3335 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(13,2) = HCF(80,13) = HCF(93,80) = HCF(3242,93) = HCF(3335,3242) = HCF(9912,3335) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 9912, 3335?
Answer: HCF of 9912, 3335 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 9912, 3335 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 9912, 3335 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
