HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7139, 5597, 99450 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7139, 5597, 99450 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 7139, 5597, 99450 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 7139, 5597, 99450 is 1.
HCF(7139, 5597, 99450) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7139, 5597, 99450 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7139 > 5597, we apply the division lemma to 7139 and 5597, to get
7139 = 5597 x 1 + 1542
Step 2: Since the reminder 5597 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1542 and 5597, to get
5597 = 1542 x 3 + 971
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1542 and the new remainder 971, and apply the division lemma to get
1542 = 971 x 1 + 571
We consider the new divisor 971 and the new remainder 571,and apply the division lemma to get
971 = 571 x 1 + 400
We consider the new divisor 571 and the new remainder 400,and apply the division lemma to get
571 = 400 x 1 + 171
We consider the new divisor 400 and the new remainder 171,and apply the division lemma to get
400 = 171 x 2 + 58
We consider the new divisor 171 and the new remainder 58,and apply the division lemma to get
171 = 58 x 2 + 55
We consider the new divisor 58 and the new remainder 55,and apply the division lemma to get
58 = 55 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 55 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
55 = 3 x 18 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 7139 and 5597 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(55,3) = HCF(58,55) = HCF(171,58) = HCF(400,171) = HCF(571,400) = HCF(971,571) = HCF(1542,971) = HCF(5597,1542) = HCF(7139,5597) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 99450 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 99450 and 1, to get
99450 = 1 x 99450 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 99450 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(99450,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
