HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2001, 5653 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2001, 5653 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 2001, 5653 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 2001, 5653 is 1.
HCF(2001, 5653) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2001, 5653 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5653 > 2001, we apply the division lemma to 5653 and 2001, to get
5653 = 2001 x 2 + 1651
Step 2: Since the reminder 2001 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1651 and 2001, to get
2001 = 1651 x 1 + 350
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1651 and the new remainder 350, and apply the division lemma to get
1651 = 350 x 4 + 251
We consider the new divisor 350 and the new remainder 251,and apply the division lemma to get
350 = 251 x 1 + 99
We consider the new divisor 251 and the new remainder 99,and apply the division lemma to get
251 = 99 x 2 + 53
We consider the new divisor 99 and the new remainder 53,and apply the division lemma to get
99 = 53 x 1 + 46
We consider the new divisor 53 and the new remainder 46,and apply the division lemma to get
53 = 46 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 46 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
46 = 7 x 6 + 4
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 4 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2001 and 5653 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(7,4) = HCF(46,7) = HCF(53,46) = HCF(99,53) = HCF(251,99) = HCF(350,251) = HCF(1651,350) = HCF(2001,1651) = HCF(5653,2001) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 2001, 5653?
Answer: HCF of 2001, 5653 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 2001, 5653 using Euclid's Algorithm?
