HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7529, 4459, 53894 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7529, 4459, 53894 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 7529, 4459, 53894 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 7529, 4459, 53894 is 1.
HCF(7529, 4459, 53894) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7529, 4459, 53894 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7529 > 4459, we apply the division lemma to 7529 and 4459, to get
7529 = 4459 x 1 + 3070
Step 2: Since the reminder 4459 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3070 and 4459, to get
4459 = 3070 x 1 + 1389
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3070 and the new remainder 1389, and apply the division lemma to get
3070 = 1389 x 2 + 292
We consider the new divisor 1389 and the new remainder 292,and apply the division lemma to get
1389 = 292 x 4 + 221
We consider the new divisor 292 and the new remainder 221,and apply the division lemma to get
292 = 221 x 1 + 71
We consider the new divisor 221 and the new remainder 71,and apply the division lemma to get
221 = 71 x 3 + 8
We consider the new divisor 71 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
71 = 8 x 8 + 7
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 7 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 1 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 7529 and 4459 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(8,7) = HCF(71,8) = HCF(221,71) = HCF(292,221) = HCF(1389,292) = HCF(3070,1389) = HCF(4459,3070) = HCF(7529,4459) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 53894 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 53894 and 1, to get
53894 = 1 x 53894 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 53894 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(53894,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
