HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3235, 5759 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3235, 5759 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 3235, 5759 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 3235, 5759 is 1.
HCF(3235, 5759) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3235, 5759 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5759 > 3235, we apply the division lemma to 5759 and 3235, to get
5759 = 3235 x 1 + 2524
Step 2: Since the reminder 3235 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2524 and 3235, to get
3235 = 2524 x 1 + 711
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2524 and the new remainder 711, and apply the division lemma to get
2524 = 711 x 3 + 391
We consider the new divisor 711 and the new remainder 391,and apply the division lemma to get
711 = 391 x 1 + 320
We consider the new divisor 391 and the new remainder 320,and apply the division lemma to get
391 = 320 x 1 + 71
We consider the new divisor 320 and the new remainder 71,and apply the division lemma to get
320 = 71 x 4 + 36
We consider the new divisor 71 and the new remainder 36,and apply the division lemma to get
71 = 36 x 1 + 35
We consider the new divisor 36 and the new remainder 35,and apply the division lemma to get
36 = 35 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 35 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
35 = 1 x 35 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 3235 and 5759 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(35,1) = HCF(36,35) = HCF(71,36) = HCF(320,71) = HCF(391,320) = HCF(711,391) = HCF(2524,711) = HCF(3235,2524) = HCF(5759,3235) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
