HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2620, 5275 i.e. 5 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2620, 5275 is 5 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 2620, 5275 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 2620, 5275 is 5.
HCF(2620, 5275) = 5
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2620, 5275 is 5.
Step 1: Since 5275 > 2620, we apply the division lemma to 5275 and 2620, to get
5275 = 2620 x 2 + 35
Step 2: Since the reminder 2620 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 35 and 2620, to get
2620 = 35 x 74 + 30
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 35 and the new remainder 30, and apply the division lemma to get
35 = 30 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 5, and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 5 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 2620 and 5275 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(30,5) = HCF(35,30) = HCF(2620,35) = HCF(5275,2620) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 2620, 5275?
Answer: HCF of 2620, 5275 is 5 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 2620, 5275 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 2620, 5275 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
