HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2519, 3482 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2519, 3482 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 2519, 3482 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 2519, 3482 is 1.
HCF(2519, 3482) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2519, 3482 is 1.
Step 1: Since 3482 > 2519, we apply the division lemma to 3482 and 2519, to get
3482 = 2519 x 1 + 963
Step 2: Since the reminder 2519 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 963 and 2519, to get
2519 = 963 x 2 + 593
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 963 and the new remainder 593, and apply the division lemma to get
963 = 593 x 1 + 370
We consider the new divisor 593 and the new remainder 370,and apply the division lemma to get
593 = 370 x 1 + 223
We consider the new divisor 370 and the new remainder 223,and apply the division lemma to get
370 = 223 x 1 + 147
We consider the new divisor 223 and the new remainder 147,and apply the division lemma to get
223 = 147 x 1 + 76
We consider the new divisor 147 and the new remainder 76,and apply the division lemma to get
147 = 76 x 1 + 71
We consider the new divisor 76 and the new remainder 71,and apply the division lemma to get
76 = 71 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 71 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
71 = 5 x 14 + 1
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2519 and 3482 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(71,5) = HCF(76,71) = HCF(147,76) = HCF(223,147) = HCF(370,223) = HCF(593,370) = HCF(963,593) = HCF(2519,963) = HCF(3482,2519) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
