HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5034, 8082 i.e. 6 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5034, 8082 is 6 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 5034, 8082 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 5034, 8082 is 6.
HCF(5034, 8082) = 6
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5034, 8082 is 6.
Step 1: Since 8082 > 5034, we apply the division lemma to 8082 and 5034, to get
8082 = 5034 x 1 + 3048
Step 2: Since the reminder 5034 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3048 and 5034, to get
5034 = 3048 x 1 + 1986
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3048 and the new remainder 1986, and apply the division lemma to get
3048 = 1986 x 1 + 1062
We consider the new divisor 1986 and the new remainder 1062,and apply the division lemma to get
1986 = 1062 x 1 + 924
We consider the new divisor 1062 and the new remainder 924,and apply the division lemma to get
1062 = 924 x 1 + 138
We consider the new divisor 924 and the new remainder 138,and apply the division lemma to get
924 = 138 x 6 + 96
We consider the new divisor 138 and the new remainder 96,and apply the division lemma to get
138 = 96 x 1 + 42
We consider the new divisor 96 and the new remainder 42,and apply the division lemma to get
96 = 42 x 2 + 12
We consider the new divisor 42 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
42 = 12 x 3 + 6
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 6 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 6, the HCF of 5034 and 8082 is 6
Notice that 6 = HCF(12,6) = HCF(42,12) = HCF(96,42) = HCF(138,96) = HCF(924,138) = HCF(1062,924) = HCF(1986,1062) = HCF(3048,1986) = HCF(5034,3048) = HCF(8082,5034) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
