HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7011, 5923 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7011, 5923 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 7011, 5923 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 7011, 5923 is 1.
HCF(7011, 5923) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7011, 5923 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7011 > 5923, we apply the division lemma to 7011 and 5923, to get
7011 = 5923 x 1 + 1088
Step 2: Since the reminder 5923 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1088 and 5923, to get
5923 = 1088 x 5 + 483
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1088 and the new remainder 483, and apply the division lemma to get
1088 = 483 x 2 + 122
We consider the new divisor 483 and the new remainder 122,and apply the division lemma to get
483 = 122 x 3 + 117
We consider the new divisor 122 and the new remainder 117,and apply the division lemma to get
122 = 117 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 117 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
117 = 5 x 23 + 2
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 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 7011 and 5923 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(117,5) = HCF(122,117) = HCF(483,122) = HCF(1088,483) = HCF(5923,1088) = HCF(7011,5923) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
