HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 616, 7090, 5512 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 616, 7090, 5512 is 2 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 616, 7090, 5512 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 616, 7090, 5512 is 2.
HCF(616, 7090, 5512) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 616, 7090, 5512 is 2.
Step 1: Since 7090 > 616, we apply the division lemma to 7090 and 616, to get
7090 = 616 x 11 + 314
Step 2: Since the reminder 616 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 314 and 616, to get
616 = 314 x 1 + 302
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 314 and the new remainder 302, and apply the division lemma to get
314 = 302 x 1 + 12
We consider the new divisor 302 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
302 = 12 x 25 + 2
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 2 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 616 and 7090 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(12,2) = HCF(302,12) = HCF(314,302) = HCF(616,314) = HCF(7090,616) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 5512 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 5512 and 2, to get
5512 = 2 x 2756 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 2 and 5512 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(5512,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
