HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 9936, 5953 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 9936, 5953 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 9936, 5953 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 9936, 5953 is 1.
HCF(9936, 5953) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 9936, 5953 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9936 > 5953, we apply the division lemma to 9936 and 5953, to get
9936 = 5953 x 1 + 3983
Step 2: Since the reminder 5953 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3983 and 5953, to get
5953 = 3983 x 1 + 1970
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3983 and the new remainder 1970, and apply the division lemma to get
3983 = 1970 x 2 + 43
We consider the new divisor 1970 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
1970 = 43 x 45 + 35
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 35,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 35 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 35 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
35 = 8 x 4 + 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 9936 and 5953 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(8,3) = HCF(35,8) = HCF(43,35) = HCF(1970,43) = HCF(3983,1970) = HCF(5953,3983) = HCF(9936,5953) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
