HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7468, 5689, 10590 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7468, 5689, 10590 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 7468, 5689, 10590 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 7468, 5689, 10590 is 1.
HCF(7468, 5689, 10590) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7468, 5689, 10590 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7468 > 5689, we apply the division lemma to 7468 and 5689, to get
7468 = 5689 x 1 + 1779
Step 2: Since the reminder 5689 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1779 and 5689, to get
5689 = 1779 x 3 + 352
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1779 and the new remainder 352, and apply the division lemma to get
1779 = 352 x 5 + 19
We consider the new divisor 352 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
352 = 19 x 18 + 10
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 10 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 9 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 1 x 9 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 7468 and 5689 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(9,1) = HCF(10,9) = HCF(19,10) = HCF(352,19) = HCF(1779,352) = HCF(5689,1779) = HCF(7468,5689) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 10590 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 10590 and 1, to get
10590 = 1 x 10590 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 10590 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10590,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
