HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 695, 53620 i.e. 5 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 695, 53620 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 695, 53620 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 695, 53620 is 5.
HCF(695, 53620) = 5
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 695, 53620 is 5.
Step 1: Since 53620 > 695, we apply the division lemma to 53620 and 695, to get
53620 = 695 x 77 + 105
Step 2: Since the reminder 695 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 105 and 695, to get
695 = 105 x 6 + 65
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 105 and the new remainder 65, and apply the division lemma to get
105 = 65 x 1 + 40
We consider the new divisor 65 and the new remainder 40,and apply the division lemma to get
65 = 40 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 40 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
40 = 25 x 1 + 15
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 15 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 10 x 1 + 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 695 and 53620 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(10,5) = HCF(15,10) = HCF(25,15) = HCF(40,25) = HCF(65,40) = HCF(105,65) = HCF(695,105) = HCF(53620,695) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
