HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4036, 5443 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4036, 5443 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 4036, 5443 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 4036, 5443 is 1.
HCF(4036, 5443) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4036, 5443 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5443 > 4036, we apply the division lemma to 5443 and 4036, to get
5443 = 4036 x 1 + 1407
Step 2: Since the reminder 4036 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1407 and 4036, to get
4036 = 1407 x 2 + 1222
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1407 and the new remainder 1222, and apply the division lemma to get
1407 = 1222 x 1 + 185
We consider the new divisor 1222 and the new remainder 185,and apply the division lemma to get
1222 = 185 x 6 + 112
We consider the new divisor 185 and the new remainder 112,and apply the division lemma to get
185 = 112 x 1 + 73
We consider the new divisor 112 and the new remainder 73,and apply the division lemma to get
112 = 73 x 1 + 39
We consider the new divisor 73 and the new remainder 39,and apply the division lemma to get
73 = 39 x 1 + 34
We consider the new divisor 39 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
39 = 34 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 5 x 6 + 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 4036 and 5443 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(34,5) = HCF(39,34) = HCF(73,39) = HCF(112,73) = HCF(185,112) = HCF(1222,185) = HCF(1407,1222) = HCF(4036,1407) = HCF(5443,4036) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
