HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7119, 5312 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7119, 5312 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 7119, 5312 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 7119, 5312 is 1.
HCF(7119, 5312) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7119, 5312 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7119 > 5312, we apply the division lemma to 7119 and 5312, to get
7119 = 5312 x 1 + 1807
Step 2: Since the reminder 5312 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1807 and 5312, to get
5312 = 1807 x 2 + 1698
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1807 and the new remainder 1698, and apply the division lemma to get
1807 = 1698 x 1 + 109
We consider the new divisor 1698 and the new remainder 109,and apply the division lemma to get
1698 = 109 x 15 + 63
We consider the new divisor 109 and the new remainder 63,and apply the division lemma to get
109 = 63 x 1 + 46
We consider the new divisor 63 and the new remainder 46,and apply the division lemma to get
63 = 46 x 1 + 17
We consider the new divisor 46 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
46 = 17 x 2 + 12
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 12 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 5 x 2 + 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 7119 and 5312 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(12,5) = HCF(17,12) = HCF(46,17) = HCF(63,46) = HCF(109,63) = HCF(1698,109) = HCF(1807,1698) = HCF(5312,1807) = HCF(7119,5312) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
