HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 245, 5013 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 245, 5013 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 245, 5013 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 245, 5013 is 1.
HCF(245, 5013) = 1
HCF of 245, 5013 using Euclid's algorithm
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 245, 5013 is 1.
Highest Common Factor of 245,5013 is 1
Step 1: Since 5013 > 245, we apply the division lemma to 5013 and 245, to get
5013 = 245 x 20 + 113
Step 2: Since the reminder 245 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 113 and 245, to get
245 = 113 x 2 + 19
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 113 and the new remainder 19, and apply the division lemma to get
113 = 19 x 5 + 18
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 18 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 1 x 18 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 245 and 5013 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(18,1) = HCF(19,18) = HCF(113,19) = HCF(245,113) = HCF(5013,245) .
