HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2273, 3010, 71555 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2273, 3010, 71555 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 2273, 3010, 71555 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 2273, 3010, 71555 is 1.
HCF(2273, 3010, 71555) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2273, 3010, 71555 is 1.
Step 1: Since 3010 > 2273, we apply the division lemma to 3010 and 2273, to get
3010 = 2273 x 1 + 737
Step 2: Since the reminder 2273 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 737 and 2273, to get
2273 = 737 x 3 + 62
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 737 and the new remainder 62, and apply the division lemma to get
737 = 62 x 11 + 55
We consider the new divisor 62 and the new remainder 55,and apply the division lemma to get
62 = 55 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 55 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
55 = 7 x 7 + 6
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 6 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2273 and 3010 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(7,6) = HCF(55,7) = HCF(62,55) = HCF(737,62) = HCF(2273,737) = HCF(3010,2273) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 71555 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 71555 and 1, to get
71555 = 1 x 71555 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 71555 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(71555,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
