HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5415, 9325, 41468 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5415, 9325, 41468 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 5415, 9325, 41468 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 5415, 9325, 41468 is 1.
HCF(5415, 9325, 41468) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5415, 9325, 41468 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9325 > 5415, we apply the division lemma to 9325 and 5415, to get
9325 = 5415 x 1 + 3910
Step 2: Since the reminder 5415 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3910 and 5415, to get
5415 = 3910 x 1 + 1505
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3910 and the new remainder 1505, and apply the division lemma to get
3910 = 1505 x 2 + 900
We consider the new divisor 1505 and the new remainder 900,and apply the division lemma to get
1505 = 900 x 1 + 605
We consider the new divisor 900 and the new remainder 605,and apply the division lemma to get
900 = 605 x 1 + 295
We consider the new divisor 605 and the new remainder 295,and apply the division lemma to get
605 = 295 x 2 + 15
We consider the new divisor 295 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
295 = 15 x 19 + 10
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 10 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 5 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 5415 and 9325 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(10,5) = HCF(15,10) = HCF(295,15) = HCF(605,295) = HCF(900,605) = HCF(1505,900) = HCF(3910,1505) = HCF(5415,3910) = HCF(9325,5415) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 41468 > 5, we apply the division lemma to 41468 and 5, to get
41468 = 5 x 8293 + 3
Step 2: Since the reminder 5 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3 and 5, to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2, and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 5 and 41468 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(41468,5) .
