HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 220, 5149 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 220, 5149 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 220, 5149 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 220, 5149 is 1.
HCF(220, 5149) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 220, 5149 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5149 > 220, we apply the division lemma to 5149 and 220, to get
5149 = 220 x 23 + 89
Step 2: Since the reminder 220 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 89 and 220, to get
220 = 89 x 2 + 42
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 89 and the new remainder 42, and apply the division lemma to get
89 = 42 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 42 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
42 = 5 x 8 + 2
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 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 220 and 5149 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(42,5) = HCF(89,42) = HCF(220,89) = HCF(5149,220) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
