HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 585, 5090 i.e. 5 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 585, 5090 is 5 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 585, 5090 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 585, 5090 is 5.
HCF(585, 5090) = 5
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 585, 5090 is 5.
Step 1: Since 5090 > 585, we apply the division lemma to 5090 and 585, to get
5090 = 585 x 8 + 410
Step 2: Since the reminder 585 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 410 and 585, to get
585 = 410 x 1 + 175
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 410 and the new remainder 175, and apply the division lemma to get
410 = 175 x 2 + 60
We consider the new divisor 175 and the new remainder 60,and apply the division lemma to get
175 = 60 x 2 + 55
We consider the new divisor 60 and the new remainder 55,and apply the division lemma to get
60 = 55 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 55 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
55 = 5 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 585 and 5090 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(55,5) = HCF(60,55) = HCF(175,60) = HCF(410,175) = HCF(585,410) = HCF(5090,585) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
