HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7408, 2753 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7408, 2753 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 7408, 2753 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 7408, 2753 is 1.
HCF(7408, 2753) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7408, 2753 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7408 > 2753, we apply the division lemma to 7408 and 2753, to get
7408 = 2753 x 2 + 1902
Step 2: Since the reminder 2753 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1902 and 2753, to get
2753 = 1902 x 1 + 851
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1902 and the new remainder 851, and apply the division lemma to get
1902 = 851 x 2 + 200
We consider the new divisor 851 and the new remainder 200,and apply the division lemma to get
851 = 200 x 4 + 51
We consider the new divisor 200 and the new remainder 51,and apply the division lemma to get
200 = 51 x 3 + 47
We consider the new divisor 51 and the new remainder 47,and apply the division lemma to get
51 = 47 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 47 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
47 = 4 x 11 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 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 7408 and 2753 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(47,4) = HCF(51,47) = HCF(200,51) = HCF(851,200) = HCF(1902,851) = HCF(2753,1902) = HCF(7408,2753) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
