HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 1127, 5428 i.e. 23 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 1127, 5428 is 23 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 1127, 5428 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 1127, 5428 is 23.
HCF(1127, 5428) = 23
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 1127, 5428 is 23.
Step 1: Since 5428 > 1127, we apply the division lemma to 5428 and 1127, to get
5428 = 1127 x 4 + 920
Step 2: Since the reminder 1127 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 920 and 1127, to get
1127 = 920 x 1 + 207
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 920 and the new remainder 207, and apply the division lemma to get
920 = 207 x 4 + 92
We consider the new divisor 207 and the new remainder 92,and apply the division lemma to get
207 = 92 x 2 + 23
We consider the new divisor 92 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
92 = 23 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 23, the HCF of 1127 and 5428 is 23
Notice that 23 = HCF(92,23) = HCF(207,92) = HCF(920,207) = HCF(1127,920) = HCF(5428,1127) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
