HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5582, 9203 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5582, 9203 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, 9203 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, 9203 is 1.
HCF(5582, 9203) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5582, 9203 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9203 > 5582, we apply the division lemma to 9203 and 5582, to get
9203 = 5582 x 1 + 3621
Step 2: Since the reminder 5582 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3621 and 5582, to get
5582 = 3621 x 1 + 1961
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3621 and the new remainder 1961, and apply the division lemma to get
3621 = 1961 x 1 + 1660
We consider the new divisor 1961 and the new remainder 1660,and apply the division lemma to get
1961 = 1660 x 1 + 301
We consider the new divisor 1660 and the new remainder 301,and apply the division lemma to get
1660 = 301 x 5 + 155
We consider the new divisor 301 and the new remainder 155,and apply the division lemma to get
301 = 155 x 1 + 146
We consider the new divisor 155 and the new remainder 146,and apply the division lemma to get
155 = 146 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 146 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
146 = 9 x 16 + 2
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 2 x 4 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5582 and 9203 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(9,2) = HCF(146,9) = HCF(155,146) = HCF(301,155) = HCF(1660,301) = HCF(1961,1660) = HCF(3621,1961) = HCF(5582,3621) = HCF(9203,5582) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
