HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5570, 3269 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5570, 3269 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 5570, 3269 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 5570, 3269 is 1.
HCF(5570, 3269) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5570, 3269 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5570 > 3269, we apply the division lemma to 5570 and 3269, to get
5570 = 3269 x 1 + 2301
Step 2: Since the reminder 3269 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2301 and 3269, to get
3269 = 2301 x 1 + 968
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2301 and the new remainder 968, and apply the division lemma to get
2301 = 968 x 2 + 365
We consider the new divisor 968 and the new remainder 365,and apply the division lemma to get
968 = 365 x 2 + 238
We consider the new divisor 365 and the new remainder 238,and apply the division lemma to get
365 = 238 x 1 + 127
We consider the new divisor 238 and the new remainder 127,and apply the division lemma to get
238 = 127 x 1 + 111
We consider the new divisor 127 and the new remainder 111,and apply the division lemma to get
127 = 111 x 1 + 16
We consider the new divisor 111 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
111 = 16 x 6 + 15
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 15 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 1 x 15 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5570 and 3269 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(15,1) = HCF(16,15) = HCF(111,16) = HCF(127,111) = HCF(238,127) = HCF(365,238) = HCF(968,365) = HCF(2301,968) = HCF(3269,2301) = HCF(5570,3269) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
