HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3298, 5315 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3298, 5315 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 3298, 5315 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 3298, 5315 is 1.
HCF(3298, 5315) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3298, 5315 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5315 > 3298, we apply the division lemma to 5315 and 3298, to get
5315 = 3298 x 1 + 2017
Step 2: Since the reminder 3298 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2017 and 3298, to get
3298 = 2017 x 1 + 1281
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2017 and the new remainder 1281, and apply the division lemma to get
2017 = 1281 x 1 + 736
We consider the new divisor 1281 and the new remainder 736,and apply the division lemma to get
1281 = 736 x 1 + 545
We consider the new divisor 736 and the new remainder 545,and apply the division lemma to get
736 = 545 x 1 + 191
We consider the new divisor 545 and the new remainder 191,and apply the division lemma to get
545 = 191 x 2 + 163
We consider the new divisor 191 and the new remainder 163,and apply the division lemma to get
191 = 163 x 1 + 28
We consider the new divisor 163 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
163 = 28 x 5 + 23
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 23 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 5 x 4 + 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 3298 and 5315 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(23,5) = HCF(28,23) = HCF(163,28) = HCF(191,163) = HCF(545,191) = HCF(736,545) = HCF(1281,736) = HCF(2017,1281) = HCF(3298,2017) = HCF(5315,3298) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
