HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 5865, 5790 i.e. 15 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 5865, 5790 is 15 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 5865, 5790 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 5865, 5790 is 15.
HCF(5865, 5790) = 15
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 5865, 5790 is 15.
Step 1: Since 5865 > 5790, we apply the division lemma to 5865 and 5790, to get
5865 = 5790 x 1 + 75
Step 2: Since the reminder 5790 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 75 and 5790, to get
5790 = 75 x 77 + 15
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 75 and the new remainder 15, and apply the division lemma to get
75 = 15 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 15, the HCF of 5865 and 5790 is 15
Notice that 15 = HCF(75,15) = HCF(5790,75) = HCF(5865,5790) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 5865, 5790?
Answer: HCF of 5865, 5790 is 15 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 5865, 5790 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 5865, 5790 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
