HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2575, 8383 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2575, 8383 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 2575, 8383 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 2575, 8383 is 1.
HCF(2575, 8383) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2575, 8383 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8383 > 2575, we apply the division lemma to 8383 and 2575, to get
8383 = 2575 x 3 + 658
Step 2: Since the reminder 2575 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 658 and 2575, to get
2575 = 658 x 3 + 601
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 658 and the new remainder 601, and apply the division lemma to get
658 = 601 x 1 + 57
We consider the new divisor 601 and the new remainder 57,and apply the division lemma to get
601 = 57 x 10 + 31
We consider the new divisor 57 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
57 = 31 x 1 + 26
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 26 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 5 x 5 + 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 2575 and 8383 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(26,5) = HCF(31,26) = HCF(57,31) = HCF(601,57) = HCF(658,601) = HCF(2575,658) = HCF(8383,2575) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
