HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8132, 5661 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8132, 5661 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 8132, 5661 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 8132, 5661 is 1.
HCF(8132, 5661) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8132, 5661 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8132 > 5661, we apply the division lemma to 8132 and 5661, to get
8132 = 5661 x 1 + 2471
Step 2: Since the reminder 5661 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2471 and 5661, to get
5661 = 2471 x 2 + 719
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2471 and the new remainder 719, and apply the division lemma to get
2471 = 719 x 3 + 314
We consider the new divisor 719 and the new remainder 314,and apply the division lemma to get
719 = 314 x 2 + 91
We consider the new divisor 314 and the new remainder 91,and apply the division lemma to get
314 = 91 x 3 + 41
We consider the new divisor 91 and the new remainder 41,and apply the division lemma to get
91 = 41 x 2 + 9
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 9 x 4 + 5
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 5 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 8132 and 5661 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(9,5) = HCF(41,9) = HCF(91,41) = HCF(314,91) = HCF(719,314) = HCF(2471,719) = HCF(5661,2471) = HCF(8132,5661) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
