HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7192, 5245 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7192, 5245 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 7192, 5245 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 7192, 5245 is 1.
HCF(7192, 5245) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7192, 5245 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7192 > 5245, we apply the division lemma to 7192 and 5245, to get
7192 = 5245 x 1 + 1947
Step 2: Since the reminder 5245 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1947 and 5245, to get
5245 = 1947 x 2 + 1351
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1947 and the new remainder 1351, and apply the division lemma to get
1947 = 1351 x 1 + 596
We consider the new divisor 1351 and the new remainder 596,and apply the division lemma to get
1351 = 596 x 2 + 159
We consider the new divisor 596 and the new remainder 159,and apply the division lemma to get
596 = 159 x 3 + 119
We consider the new divisor 159 and the new remainder 119,and apply the division lemma to get
159 = 119 x 1 + 40
We consider the new divisor 119 and the new remainder 40,and apply the division lemma to get
119 = 40 x 2 + 39
We consider the new divisor 40 and the new remainder 39,and apply the division lemma to get
40 = 39 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 39 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
39 = 1 x 39 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 7192 and 5245 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(39,1) = HCF(40,39) = HCF(119,40) = HCF(159,119) = HCF(596,159) = HCF(1351,596) = HCF(1947,1351) = HCF(5245,1947) = HCF(7192,5245) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
