HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5467, 1748 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5467, 1748 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 5467, 1748 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 5467, 1748 is 1.
HCF(5467, 1748) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5467, 1748 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5467 > 1748, we apply the division lemma to 5467 and 1748, to get
5467 = 1748 x 3 + 223
Step 2: Since the reminder 1748 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 223 and 1748, to get
1748 = 223 x 7 + 187
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 223 and the new remainder 187, and apply the division lemma to get
223 = 187 x 1 + 36
We consider the new divisor 187 and the new remainder 36,and apply the division lemma to get
187 = 36 x 5 + 7
We consider the new divisor 36 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
36 = 7 x 5 + 1
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 1 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5467 and 1748 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(36,7) = HCF(187,36) = HCF(223,187) = HCF(1748,223) = HCF(5467,1748) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
