HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 445, 5085 i.e. 5 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 445, 5085 is 5 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 445, 5085 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 445, 5085 is 5.
HCF(445, 5085) = 5
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 445, 5085 is 5.
Step 1: Since 5085 > 445, we apply the division lemma to 5085 and 445, to get
5085 = 445 x 11 + 190
Step 2: Since the reminder 445 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 190 and 445, to get
445 = 190 x 2 + 65
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 190 and the new remainder 65, and apply the division lemma to get
190 = 65 x 2 + 60
We consider the new divisor 65 and the new remainder 60,and apply the division lemma to get
65 = 60 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 60 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
60 = 5 x 12 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 445 and 5085 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(60,5) = HCF(65,60) = HCF(190,65) = HCF(445,190) = HCF(5085,445) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 445, 5085?
Answer: HCF of 445, 5085 is 5 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 445, 5085 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 445, 5085 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
