HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5029, 5366, 45882 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5029, 5366, 45882 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 5029, 5366, 45882 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 5029, 5366, 45882 is 1.
HCF(5029, 5366, 45882) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5029, 5366, 45882 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5366 > 5029, we apply the division lemma to 5366 and 5029, to get
5366 = 5029 x 1 + 337
Step 2: Since the reminder 5029 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 337 and 5029, to get
5029 = 337 x 14 + 311
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 337 and the new remainder 311, and apply the division lemma to get
337 = 311 x 1 + 26
We consider the new divisor 311 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
311 = 26 x 11 + 25
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 25 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 1 x 25 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5029 and 5366 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(25,1) = HCF(26,25) = HCF(311,26) = HCF(337,311) = HCF(5029,337) = HCF(5366,5029) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 45882 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 45882 and 1, to get
45882 = 1 x 45882 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 45882 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(45882,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
