HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 519, 12223 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 519, 12223 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 519, 12223 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 519, 12223 is 1.
HCF(519, 12223) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 519, 12223 is 1.
Step 1: Since 12223 > 519, we apply the division lemma to 12223 and 519, to get
12223 = 519 x 23 + 286
Step 2: Since the reminder 519 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 286 and 519, to get
519 = 286 x 1 + 233
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 286 and the new remainder 233, and apply the division lemma to get
286 = 233 x 1 + 53
We consider the new divisor 233 and the new remainder 53,and apply the division lemma to get
233 = 53 x 4 + 21
We consider the new divisor 53 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
53 = 21 x 2 + 11
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 11 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 10 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 1 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 519 and 12223 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(11,10) = HCF(21,11) = HCF(53,21) = HCF(233,53) = HCF(286,233) = HCF(519,286) = HCF(12223,519) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
