HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5471, 7666, 92625 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5471, 7666, 92625 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 5471, 7666, 92625 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 5471, 7666, 92625 is 1.
HCF(5471, 7666, 92625) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5471, 7666, 92625 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7666 > 5471, we apply the division lemma to 7666 and 5471, to get
7666 = 5471 x 1 + 2195
Step 2: Since the reminder 5471 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2195 and 5471, to get
5471 = 2195 x 2 + 1081
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2195 and the new remainder 1081, and apply the division lemma to get
2195 = 1081 x 2 + 33
We consider the new divisor 1081 and the new remainder 33,and apply the division lemma to get
1081 = 33 x 32 + 25
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 25 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 8 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 1 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5471 and 7666 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(25,8) = HCF(33,25) = HCF(1081,33) = HCF(2195,1081) = HCF(5471,2195) = HCF(7666,5471) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 92625 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 92625 and 1, to get
92625 = 1 x 92625 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 92625 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(92625,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
