HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2808, 594 i.e. 54 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2808, 594 is 54 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 2808, 594 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 2808, 594 is 54.
HCF(2808, 594) = 54
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2808, 594 is 54.
Step 1: Since 2808 > 594, we apply the division lemma to 2808 and 594, to get
2808 = 594 x 4 + 432
Step 2: Since the reminder 594 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 432 and 594, to get
594 = 432 x 1 + 162
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 432 and the new remainder 162, and apply the division lemma to get
432 = 162 x 2 + 108
We consider the new divisor 162 and the new remainder 108,and apply the division lemma to get
162 = 108 x 1 + 54
We consider the new divisor 108 and the new remainder 54,and apply the division lemma to get
108 = 54 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 54, the HCF of 2808 and 594 is 54
Notice that 54 = HCF(108,54) = HCF(162,108) = HCF(432,162) = HCF(594,432) = HCF(2808,594) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
