HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 1105, 5777, 29751 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 1105, 5777, 29751 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 1105, 5777, 29751 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 1105, 5777, 29751 is 1.
HCF(1105, 5777, 29751) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 1105, 5777, 29751 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5777 > 1105, we apply the division lemma to 5777 and 1105, to get
5777 = 1105 x 5 + 252
Step 2: Since the reminder 1105 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 252 and 1105, to get
1105 = 252 x 4 + 97
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 252 and the new remainder 97, and apply the division lemma to get
252 = 97 x 2 + 58
We consider the new divisor 97 and the new remainder 58,and apply the division lemma to get
97 = 58 x 1 + 39
We consider the new divisor 58 and the new remainder 39,and apply the division lemma to get
58 = 39 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 39 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
39 = 19 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 1 x 19 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1105 and 5777 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(19,1) = HCF(39,19) = HCF(58,39) = HCF(97,58) = HCF(252,97) = HCF(1105,252) = HCF(5777,1105) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 29751 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 29751 and 1, to get
29751 = 1 x 29751 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 29751 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(29751,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
