HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9931, 4129, 93994 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9931, 4129, 93994 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 9931, 4129, 93994 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 9931, 4129, 93994 is 1.
HCF(9931, 4129, 93994) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9931, 4129, 93994 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9931 > 4129, we apply the division lemma to 9931 and 4129, to get
9931 = 4129 x 2 + 1673
Step 2: Since the reminder 4129 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1673 and 4129, to get
4129 = 1673 x 2 + 783
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1673 and the new remainder 783, and apply the division lemma to get
1673 = 783 x 2 + 107
We consider the new divisor 783 and the new remainder 107,and apply the division lemma to get
783 = 107 x 7 + 34
We consider the new divisor 107 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
107 = 34 x 3 + 5
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 5 x 6 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 9931 and 4129 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(34,5) = HCF(107,34) = HCF(783,107) = HCF(1673,783) = HCF(4129,1673) = HCF(9931,4129) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 93994 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 93994 and 1, to get
93994 = 1 x 93994 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 93994 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(93994,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
