HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5024, 9281 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5024, 9281 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 5024, 9281 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 5024, 9281 is 1.
HCF(5024, 9281) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5024, 9281 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9281 > 5024, we apply the division lemma to 9281 and 5024, to get
9281 = 5024 x 1 + 4257
Step 2: Since the reminder 5024 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4257 and 5024, to get
5024 = 4257 x 1 + 767
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 4257 and the new remainder 767, and apply the division lemma to get
4257 = 767 x 5 + 422
We consider the new divisor 767 and the new remainder 422,and apply the division lemma to get
767 = 422 x 1 + 345
We consider the new divisor 422 and the new remainder 345,and apply the division lemma to get
422 = 345 x 1 + 77
We consider the new divisor 345 and the new remainder 77,and apply the division lemma to get
345 = 77 x 4 + 37
We consider the new divisor 77 and the new remainder 37,and apply the division lemma to get
77 = 37 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 37 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
37 = 3 x 12 + 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 5024 and 9281 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(37,3) = HCF(77,37) = HCF(345,77) = HCF(422,345) = HCF(767,422) = HCF(4257,767) = HCF(5024,4257) = HCF(9281,5024) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
