HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7027, 6552, 35790 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7027, 6552, 35790 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 7027, 6552, 35790 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 7027, 6552, 35790 is 1.
HCF(7027, 6552, 35790) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7027, 6552, 35790 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7027 > 6552, we apply the division lemma to 7027 and 6552, to get
7027 = 6552 x 1 + 475
Step 2: Since the reminder 6552 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 475 and 6552, to get
6552 = 475 x 13 + 377
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 475 and the new remainder 377, and apply the division lemma to get
475 = 377 x 1 + 98
We consider the new divisor 377 and the new remainder 98,and apply the division lemma to get
377 = 98 x 3 + 83
We consider the new divisor 98 and the new remainder 83,and apply the division lemma to get
98 = 83 x 1 + 15
We consider the new divisor 83 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
83 = 15 x 5 + 8
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 8 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 7 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 1 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 7027 and 6552 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(8,7) = HCF(15,8) = HCF(83,15) = HCF(98,83) = HCF(377,98) = HCF(475,377) = HCF(6552,475) = HCF(7027,6552) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 35790 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 35790 and 1, to get
35790 = 1 x 35790 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 35790 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(35790,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
