HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 719, 2472, 5369 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 719, 2472, 5369 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 719, 2472, 5369 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 719, 2472, 5369 is 1.
HCF(719, 2472, 5369) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 719, 2472, 5369 is 1.
Step 1: Since 2472 > 719, we apply the division lemma to 2472 and 719, to get
2472 = 719 x 3 + 315
Step 2: Since the reminder 719 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 315 and 719, to get
719 = 315 x 2 + 89
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 315 and the new remainder 89, and apply the division lemma to get
315 = 89 x 3 + 48
We consider the new divisor 89 and the new remainder 48,and apply the division lemma to get
89 = 48 x 1 + 41
We consider the new divisor 48 and the new remainder 41,and apply the division lemma to get
48 = 41 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 7 x 5 + 6
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 6 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 719 and 2472 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(7,6) = HCF(41,7) = HCF(48,41) = HCF(89,48) = HCF(315,89) = HCF(719,315) = HCF(2472,719) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 5369 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 5369 and 1, to get
5369 = 1 x 5369 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 5369 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5369,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
