HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5653, 3368, 28693 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5653, 3368, 28693 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 5653, 3368, 28693 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 5653, 3368, 28693 is 1.
HCF(5653, 3368, 28693) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5653, 3368, 28693 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5653 > 3368, we apply the division lemma to 5653 and 3368, to get
5653 = 3368 x 1 + 2285
Step 2: Since the reminder 3368 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2285 and 3368, to get
3368 = 2285 x 1 + 1083
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2285 and the new remainder 1083, and apply the division lemma to get
2285 = 1083 x 2 + 119
We consider the new divisor 1083 and the new remainder 119,and apply the division lemma to get
1083 = 119 x 9 + 12
We consider the new divisor 119 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
119 = 12 x 9 + 11
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 11 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 1 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5653 and 3368 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(11,1) = HCF(12,11) = HCF(119,12) = HCF(1083,119) = HCF(2285,1083) = HCF(3368,2285) = HCF(5653,3368) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 28693 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 28693 and 1, to get
28693 = 1 x 28693 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 28693 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(28693,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
