HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 329, 4549, 5419 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 329, 4549, 5419 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 329, 4549, 5419 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 329, 4549, 5419 is 1.
HCF(329, 4549, 5419) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 329, 4549, 5419 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4549 > 329, we apply the division lemma to 4549 and 329, to get
4549 = 329 x 13 + 272
Step 2: Since the reminder 329 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 272 and 329, to get
329 = 272 x 1 + 57
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 272 and the new remainder 57, and apply the division lemma to get
272 = 57 x 4 + 44
We consider the new divisor 57 and the new remainder 44,and apply the division lemma to get
57 = 44 x 1 + 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 329 and 4549 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(13,5) = HCF(44,13) = HCF(57,44) = HCF(272,57) = HCF(329,272) = HCF(4549,329) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 5419 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 5419 and 1, to get
5419 = 1 x 5419 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 5419 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5419,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
