HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6583, 3452, 28757 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6583, 3452, 28757 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 6583, 3452, 28757 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 6583, 3452, 28757 is 1.
HCF(6583, 3452, 28757) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6583, 3452, 28757 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6583 > 3452, we apply the division lemma to 6583 and 3452, to get
6583 = 3452 x 1 + 3131
Step 2: Since the reminder 3452 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3131 and 3452, to get
3452 = 3131 x 1 + 321
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3131 and the new remainder 321, and apply the division lemma to get
3131 = 321 x 9 + 242
We consider the new divisor 321 and the new remainder 242,and apply the division lemma to get
321 = 242 x 1 + 79
We consider the new divisor 242 and the new remainder 79,and apply the division lemma to get
242 = 79 x 3 + 5
We consider the new divisor 79 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
79 = 5 x 15 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6583 and 3452 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(79,5) = HCF(242,79) = HCF(321,242) = HCF(3131,321) = HCF(3452,3131) = HCF(6583,3452) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 28757 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 28757 and 1, to get
28757 = 1 x 28757 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 28757 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(28757,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
