HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 382, 5477 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 382, 5477 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 382, 5477 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 382, 5477 is 1.
HCF(382, 5477) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 382, 5477 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5477 > 382, we apply the division lemma to 5477 and 382, to get
5477 = 382 x 14 + 129
Step 2: Since the reminder 382 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 129 and 382, to get
382 = 129 x 2 + 124
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 129 and the new remainder 124, and apply the division lemma to get
129 = 124 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 124 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
124 = 5 x 24 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 382 and 5477 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(124,5) = HCF(129,124) = HCF(382,129) = HCF(5477,382) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 382, 5477?
Answer: HCF of 382, 5477 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 382, 5477 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 382, 5477 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
