HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4197, 5993 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4197, 5993 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 4197, 5993 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 4197, 5993 is 1.
HCF(4197, 5993) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4197, 5993 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5993 > 4197, we apply the division lemma to 5993 and 4197, to get
5993 = 4197 x 1 + 1796
Step 2: Since the reminder 4197 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1796 and 4197, to get
4197 = 1796 x 2 + 605
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1796 and the new remainder 605, and apply the division lemma to get
1796 = 605 x 2 + 586
We consider the new divisor 605 and the new remainder 586,and apply the division lemma to get
605 = 586 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 586 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
586 = 19 x 30 + 16
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 16 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 3 x 5 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4197 and 5993 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(16,3) = HCF(19,16) = HCF(586,19) = HCF(605,586) = HCF(1796,605) = HCF(4197,1796) = HCF(5993,4197) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
