HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5663, 3435, 40532 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5663, 3435, 40532 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 5663, 3435, 40532 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 5663, 3435, 40532 is 1.
HCF(5663, 3435, 40532) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5663, 3435, 40532 is 1.
Step 1: Since 5663 > 3435, we apply the division lemma to 5663 and 3435, to get
5663 = 3435 x 1 + 2228
Step 2: Since the reminder 3435 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2228 and 3435, to get
3435 = 2228 x 1 + 1207
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2228 and the new remainder 1207, and apply the division lemma to get
2228 = 1207 x 1 + 1021
We consider the new divisor 1207 and the new remainder 1021,and apply the division lemma to get
1207 = 1021 x 1 + 186
We consider the new divisor 1021 and the new remainder 186,and apply the division lemma to get
1021 = 186 x 5 + 91
We consider the new divisor 186 and the new remainder 91,and apply the division lemma to get
186 = 91 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 91 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
91 = 4 x 22 + 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 5663 and 3435 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(91,4) = HCF(186,91) = HCF(1021,186) = HCF(1207,1021) = HCF(2228,1207) = HCF(3435,2228) = HCF(5663,3435) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 40532 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 40532 and 1, to get
40532 = 1 x 40532 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 40532 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(40532,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
