HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2405, 1389, 30599 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2405, 1389, 30599 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 2405, 1389, 30599 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 2405, 1389, 30599 is 1.
HCF(2405, 1389, 30599) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2405, 1389, 30599 is 1.
Step 1: Since 2405 > 1389, we apply the division lemma to 2405 and 1389, to get
2405 = 1389 x 1 + 1016
Step 2: Since the reminder 1389 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1016 and 1389, to get
1389 = 1016 x 1 + 373
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1016 and the new remainder 373, and apply the division lemma to get
1016 = 373 x 2 + 270
We consider the new divisor 373 and the new remainder 270,and apply the division lemma to get
373 = 270 x 1 + 103
We consider the new divisor 270 and the new remainder 103,and apply the division lemma to get
270 = 103 x 2 + 64
We consider the new divisor 103 and the new remainder 64,and apply the division lemma to get
103 = 64 x 1 + 39
We consider the new divisor 64 and the new remainder 39,and apply the division lemma to get
64 = 39 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 39 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
39 = 25 x 1 + 14
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 14 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 11 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 3 x 3 + 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 2405 and 1389 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(11,3) = HCF(14,11) = HCF(25,14) = HCF(39,25) = HCF(64,39) = HCF(103,64) = HCF(270,103) = HCF(373,270) = HCF(1016,373) = HCF(1389,1016) = HCF(2405,1389) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 30599 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 30599 and 1, to get
30599 = 1 x 30599 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 30599 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(30599,1) .
