HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7501, 5568 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7501, 5568 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 7501, 5568 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 7501, 5568 is 1.
HCF(7501, 5568) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7501, 5568 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7501 > 5568, we apply the division lemma to 7501 and 5568, to get
7501 = 5568 x 1 + 1933
Step 2: Since the reminder 5568 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1933 and 5568, to get
5568 = 1933 x 2 + 1702
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1933 and the new remainder 1702, and apply the division lemma to get
1933 = 1702 x 1 + 231
We consider the new divisor 1702 and the new remainder 231,and apply the division lemma to get
1702 = 231 x 7 + 85
We consider the new divisor 231 and the new remainder 85,and apply the division lemma to get
231 = 85 x 2 + 61
We consider the new divisor 85 and the new remainder 61,and apply the division lemma to get
85 = 61 x 1 + 24
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 24 x 2 + 13
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 13 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 11 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 2 x 5 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 7501 and 5568 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(11,2) = HCF(13,11) = HCF(24,13) = HCF(61,24) = HCF(85,61) = HCF(231,85) = HCF(1702,231) = HCF(1933,1702) = HCF(5568,1933) = HCF(7501,5568) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
