HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9931, 7935 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9931, 7935 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, 7935 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, 7935 is 1.
HCF(9931, 7935) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9931, 7935 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9931 > 7935, we apply the division lemma to 9931 and 7935, to get
9931 = 7935 x 1 + 1996
Step 2: Since the reminder 7935 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1996 and 7935, to get
7935 = 1996 x 3 + 1947
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1996 and the new remainder 1947, and apply the division lemma to get
1996 = 1947 x 1 + 49
We consider the new divisor 1947 and the new remainder 49,and apply the division lemma to get
1947 = 49 x 39 + 36
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 36,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 36 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 36 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
36 = 13 x 2 + 10
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 10 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 3 x 3 + 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 9931 and 7935 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(10,3) = HCF(13,10) = HCF(36,13) = HCF(49,36) = HCF(1947,49) = HCF(1996,1947) = HCF(7935,1996) = HCF(9931,7935) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
