HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2543, 2823 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2543, 2823 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 2543, 2823 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 2543, 2823 is 1.
HCF(2543, 2823) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2543, 2823 is 1.
Step 1: Since 2823 > 2543, we apply the division lemma to 2823 and 2543, to get
2823 = 2543 x 1 + 280
Step 2: Since the reminder 2543 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 280 and 2543, to get
2543 = 280 x 9 + 23
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 280 and the new remainder 23, and apply the division lemma to get
280 = 23 x 12 + 4
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 4 x 5 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2543 and 2823 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(23,4) = HCF(280,23) = HCF(2543,280) = HCF(2823,2543) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
