HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6595, 3100, 43333 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6595, 3100, 43333 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 6595, 3100, 43333 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 6595, 3100, 43333 is 1.
HCF(6595, 3100, 43333) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6595, 3100, 43333 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6595 > 3100, we apply the division lemma to 6595 and 3100, to get
6595 = 3100 x 2 + 395
Step 2: Since the reminder 3100 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 395 and 3100, to get
3100 = 395 x 7 + 335
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 395 and the new remainder 335, and apply the division lemma to get
395 = 335 x 1 + 60
We consider the new divisor 335 and the new remainder 60,and apply the division lemma to get
335 = 60 x 5 + 35
We consider the new divisor 60 and the new remainder 35,and apply the division lemma to get
60 = 35 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 35 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
35 = 25 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 10 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 5 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 6595 and 3100 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(10,5) = HCF(25,10) = HCF(35,25) = HCF(60,35) = HCF(335,60) = HCF(395,335) = HCF(3100,395) = HCF(6595,3100) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 43333 > 5, we apply the division lemma to 43333 and 5, to get
43333 = 5 x 8666 + 3
Step 2: Since the reminder 5 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3 and 5, to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2, and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5 and 43333 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(43333,5) .
