HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5215, 1244 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5215, 1244 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 5215, 1244 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 5215, 1244 is 1.
HCF(5215, 1244) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5215, 1244 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5215 > 1244, we apply the division lemma to 5215 and 1244, to get
5215 = 1244 x 4 + 239
Step 2: Since the reminder 1244 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 239 and 1244, to get
1244 = 239 x 5 + 49
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 239 and the new remainder 49, and apply the division lemma to get
239 = 49 x 4 + 43
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 43 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 6 x 7 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5215 and 1244 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(43,6) = HCF(49,43) = HCF(239,49) = HCF(1244,239) = HCF(5215,1244) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
