HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5582, 8795 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5582, 8795 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 5582, 8795 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 5582, 8795 is 1.
HCF(5582, 8795) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5582, 8795 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8795 > 5582, we apply the division lemma to 8795 and 5582, to get
8795 = 5582 x 1 + 3213
Step 2: Since the reminder 5582 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3213 and 5582, to get
5582 = 3213 x 1 + 2369
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3213 and the new remainder 2369, and apply the division lemma to get
3213 = 2369 x 1 + 844
We consider the new divisor 2369 and the new remainder 844,and apply the division lemma to get
2369 = 844 x 2 + 681
We consider the new divisor 844 and the new remainder 681,and apply the division lemma to get
844 = 681 x 1 + 163
We consider the new divisor 681 and the new remainder 163,and apply the division lemma to get
681 = 163 x 4 + 29
We consider the new divisor 163 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
163 = 29 x 5 + 18
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 18 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 11 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 7 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 4 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5582 and 8795 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(7,4) = HCF(11,7) = HCF(18,11) = HCF(29,18) = HCF(163,29) = HCF(681,163) = HCF(844,681) = HCF(2369,844) = HCF(3213,2369) = HCF(5582,3213) = HCF(8795,5582) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
