HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 553, 7176 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 553, 7176 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 553, 7176 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 553, 7176 is 1.
HCF(553, 7176) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 553, 7176 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7176 > 553, we apply the division lemma to 7176 and 553, to get
7176 = 553 x 12 + 540
Step 2: Since the reminder 553 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 540 and 553, to get
553 = 540 x 1 + 13
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 540 and the new remainder 13, and apply the division lemma to get
540 = 13 x 41 + 7
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 7 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 6 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 553 and 7176 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(7,6) = HCF(13,7) = HCF(540,13) = HCF(553,540) = HCF(7176,553) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
