HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 711, 13379 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 711, 13379 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 711, 13379 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 711, 13379 is 1.
HCF(711, 13379) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 711, 13379 is 1.
Step 1: Since 13379 > 711, we apply the division lemma to 13379 and 711, to get
13379 = 711 x 18 + 581
Step 2: Since the reminder 711 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 581 and 711, to get
711 = 581 x 1 + 130
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 581 and the new remainder 130, and apply the division lemma to get
581 = 130 x 4 + 61
We consider the new divisor 130 and the new remainder 61,and apply the division lemma to get
130 = 61 x 2 + 8
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 8 x 7 + 5
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 5 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
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 711 and 13379 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(8,5) = HCF(61,8) = HCF(130,61) = HCF(581,130) = HCF(711,581) = HCF(13379,711) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
