HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5334, 4357 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5334, 4357 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 5334, 4357 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 5334, 4357 is 1.
HCF(5334, 4357) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5334, 4357 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5334 > 4357, we apply the division lemma to 5334 and 4357, to get
5334 = 4357 x 1 + 977
Step 2: Since the reminder 4357 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 977 and 4357, to get
4357 = 977 x 4 + 449
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 977 and the new remainder 449, and apply the division lemma to get
977 = 449 x 2 + 79
We consider the new divisor 449 and the new remainder 79,and apply the division lemma to get
449 = 79 x 5 + 54
We consider the new divisor 79 and the new remainder 54,and apply the division lemma to get
79 = 54 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 54 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
54 = 25 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 4 x 6 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5334 and 4357 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(25,4) = HCF(54,25) = HCF(79,54) = HCF(449,79) = HCF(977,449) = HCF(4357,977) = HCF(5334,4357) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
