HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 428, 8268, 5669 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 428, 8268, 5669 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 428, 8268, 5669 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 428, 8268, 5669 is 1.
HCF(428, 8268, 5669) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 428, 8268, 5669 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8268 > 428, we apply the division lemma to 8268 and 428, to get
8268 = 428 x 19 + 136
Step 2: Since the reminder 428 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 136 and 428, to get
428 = 136 x 3 + 20
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 136 and the new remainder 20, and apply the division lemma to get
136 = 20 x 6 + 16
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 16 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 4 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 4, the HCF of 428 and 8268 is 4
Notice that 4 = HCF(16,4) = HCF(20,16) = HCF(136,20) = HCF(428,136) = HCF(8268,428) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 5669 > 4, we apply the division lemma to 5669 and 4, to get
5669 = 4 x 1417 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 4 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 4, 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 4 and 5669 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5669,4) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
