HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3989, 5113 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3989, 5113 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 3989, 5113 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 3989, 5113 is 1.
HCF(3989, 5113) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3989, 5113 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5113 > 3989, we apply the division lemma to 5113 and 3989, to get
5113 = 3989 x 1 + 1124
Step 2: Since the reminder 3989 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1124 and 3989, to get
3989 = 1124 x 3 + 617
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1124 and the new remainder 617, and apply the division lemma to get
1124 = 617 x 1 + 507
We consider the new divisor 617 and the new remainder 507,and apply the division lemma to get
617 = 507 x 1 + 110
We consider the new divisor 507 and the new remainder 110,and apply the division lemma to get
507 = 110 x 4 + 67
We consider the new divisor 110 and the new remainder 67,and apply the division lemma to get
110 = 67 x 1 + 43
We consider the new divisor 67 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
67 = 43 x 1 + 24
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 24 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 19 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 5 x 3 + 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 3989 and 5113 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(19,5) = HCF(24,19) = HCF(43,24) = HCF(67,43) = HCF(110,67) = HCF(507,110) = HCF(617,507) = HCF(1124,617) = HCF(3989,1124) = HCF(5113,3989) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
