HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 7625, 5344, 53627 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 7625, 5344, 53627 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 7625, 5344, 53627 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 7625, 5344, 53627 is 1.
HCF(7625, 5344, 53627) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 7625, 5344, 53627 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7625 > 5344, we apply the division lemma to 7625 and 5344, to get
7625 = 5344 x 1 + 2281
Step 2: Since the reminder 5344 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2281 and 5344, to get
5344 = 2281 x 2 + 782
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2281 and the new remainder 782, and apply the division lemma to get
2281 = 782 x 2 + 717
We consider the new divisor 782 and the new remainder 717,and apply the division lemma to get
782 = 717 x 1 + 65
We consider the new divisor 717 and the new remainder 65,and apply the division lemma to get
717 = 65 x 11 + 2
We consider the new divisor 65 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
65 = 2 x 32 + 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 7625 and 5344 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(65,2) = HCF(717,65) = HCF(782,717) = HCF(2281,782) = HCF(5344,2281) = HCF(7625,5344) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 53627 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 53627 and 1, to get
53627 = 1 x 53627 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 53627 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(53627,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
