HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9932, 4510, 34715 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9932, 4510, 34715 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 9932, 4510, 34715 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 9932, 4510, 34715 is 1.
HCF(9932, 4510, 34715) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9932, 4510, 34715 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9932 > 4510, we apply the division lemma to 9932 and 4510, to get
9932 = 4510 x 2 + 912
Step 2: Since the reminder 4510 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 912 and 4510, to get
4510 = 912 x 4 + 862
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 912 and the new remainder 862, and apply the division lemma to get
912 = 862 x 1 + 50
We consider the new divisor 862 and the new remainder 50,and apply the division lemma to get
862 = 50 x 17 + 12
We consider the new divisor 50 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
50 = 12 x 4 + 2
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 2 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 9932 and 4510 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(12,2) = HCF(50,12) = HCF(862,50) = HCF(912,862) = HCF(4510,912) = HCF(9932,4510) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 34715 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 34715 and 2, to get
34715 = 2 x 17357 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, 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 2 and 34715 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(34715,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
