HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2931, 8024, 53754 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2931, 8024, 53754 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 2931, 8024, 53754 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 2931, 8024, 53754 is 1.
HCF(2931, 8024, 53754) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2931, 8024, 53754 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8024 > 2931, we apply the division lemma to 8024 and 2931, to get
8024 = 2931 x 2 + 2162
Step 2: Since the reminder 2931 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2162 and 2931, to get
2931 = 2162 x 1 + 769
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2162 and the new remainder 769, and apply the division lemma to get
2162 = 769 x 2 + 624
We consider the new divisor 769 and the new remainder 624,and apply the division lemma to get
769 = 624 x 1 + 145
We consider the new divisor 624 and the new remainder 145,and apply the division lemma to get
624 = 145 x 4 + 44
We consider the new divisor 145 and the new remainder 44,and apply the division lemma to get
145 = 44 x 3 + 13
We consider the new divisor 44 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
44 = 13 x 3 + 5
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 5 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2931 and 8024 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(13,5) = HCF(44,13) = HCF(145,44) = HCF(624,145) = HCF(769,624) = HCF(2162,769) = HCF(2931,2162) = HCF(8024,2931) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 53754 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 53754 and 1, to get
53754 = 1 x 53754 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 53754 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(53754,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
