HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 1527, 8495 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 1527, 8495 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 1527, 8495 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 1527, 8495 is 1.
HCF(1527, 8495) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 1527, 8495 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8495 > 1527, we apply the division lemma to 8495 and 1527, to get
8495 = 1527 x 5 + 860
Step 2: Since the reminder 1527 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 860 and 1527, to get
1527 = 860 x 1 + 667
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 860 and the new remainder 667, and apply the division lemma to get
860 = 667 x 1 + 193
We consider the new divisor 667 and the new remainder 193,and apply the division lemma to get
667 = 193 x 3 + 88
We consider the new divisor 193 and the new remainder 88,and apply the division lemma to get
193 = 88 x 2 + 17
We consider the new divisor 88 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
88 = 17 x 5 + 3
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 3 x 5 + 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 1527 and 8495 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(17,3) = HCF(88,17) = HCF(193,88) = HCF(667,193) = HCF(860,667) = HCF(1527,860) = HCF(8495,1527) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
