HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5351, 7317 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5351, 7317 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 5351, 7317 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 5351, 7317 is 1.
HCF(5351, 7317) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5351, 7317 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7317 > 5351, we apply the division lemma to 7317 and 5351, to get
7317 = 5351 x 1 + 1966
Step 2: Since the reminder 5351 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1966 and 5351, to get
5351 = 1966 x 2 + 1419
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1966 and the new remainder 1419, and apply the division lemma to get
1966 = 1419 x 1 + 547
We consider the new divisor 1419 and the new remainder 547,and apply the division lemma to get
1419 = 547 x 2 + 325
We consider the new divisor 547 and the new remainder 325,and apply the division lemma to get
547 = 325 x 1 + 222
We consider the new divisor 325 and the new remainder 222,and apply the division lemma to get
325 = 222 x 1 + 103
We consider the new divisor 222 and the new remainder 103,and apply the division lemma to get
222 = 103 x 2 + 16
We consider the new divisor 103 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
103 = 16 x 6 + 7
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 7 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 2 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5351 and 7317 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(16,7) = HCF(103,16) = HCF(222,103) = HCF(325,222) = HCF(547,325) = HCF(1419,547) = HCF(1966,1419) = HCF(5351,1966) = HCF(7317,5351) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
