HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 404, 5163, 4155 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 404, 5163, 4155 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 404, 5163, 4155 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 404, 5163, 4155 is 1.
HCF(404, 5163, 4155) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 404, 5163, 4155 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5163 > 404, we apply the division lemma to 5163 and 404, to get
5163 = 404 x 12 + 315
Step 2: Since the reminder 404 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 315 and 404, to get
404 = 315 x 1 + 89
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 315 and the new remainder 89, and apply the division lemma to get
315 = 89 x 3 + 48
We consider the new divisor 89 and the new remainder 48,and apply the division lemma to get
89 = 48 x 1 + 41
We consider the new divisor 48 and the new remainder 41,and apply the division lemma to get
48 = 41 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 7 x 5 + 6
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 6 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 404 and 5163 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(7,6) = HCF(41,7) = HCF(48,41) = HCF(89,48) = HCF(315,89) = HCF(404,315) = HCF(5163,404) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 4155 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 4155 and 1, to get
4155 = 1 x 4155 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 4155 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4155,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
