HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5155, 4530 i.e. 5 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5155, 4530 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 5155, 4530 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 5155, 4530 is 5.
HCF(5155, 4530) = 5
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5155, 4530 is 5.
Step 1: Since 5155 > 4530, we apply the division lemma to 5155 and 4530, to get
5155 = 4530 x 1 + 625
Step 2: Since the reminder 4530 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 625 and 4530, to get
4530 = 625 x 7 + 155
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 625 and the new remainder 155, and apply the division lemma to get
625 = 155 x 4 + 5
We consider the new divisor 155 and the new remainder 5, and apply the division lemma to get
155 = 5 x 31 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 5155 and 4530 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(155,5) = HCF(625,155) = HCF(4530,625) = HCF(5155,4530) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 5155, 4530?
Answer: HCF of 5155, 4530 is 5 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 5155, 4530 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 5155, 4530 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
