HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5792, 7767 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5792, 7767 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 5792, 7767 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 5792, 7767 is 1.
HCF(5792, 7767) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5792, 7767 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7767 > 5792, we apply the division lemma to 7767 and 5792, to get
7767 = 5792 x 1 + 1975
Step 2: Since the reminder 5792 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1975 and 5792, to get
5792 = 1975 x 2 + 1842
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1975 and the new remainder 1842, and apply the division lemma to get
1975 = 1842 x 1 + 133
We consider the new divisor 1842 and the new remainder 133,and apply the division lemma to get
1842 = 133 x 13 + 113
We consider the new divisor 133 and the new remainder 113,and apply the division lemma to get
133 = 113 x 1 + 20
We consider the new divisor 113 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
113 = 20 x 5 + 13
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 13 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 7 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 6 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5792 and 7767 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(7,6) = HCF(13,7) = HCF(20,13) = HCF(113,20) = HCF(133,113) = HCF(1842,133) = HCF(1975,1842) = HCF(5792,1975) = HCF(7767,5792) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
