HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8345, 5121 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8345, 5121 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 8345, 5121 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 8345, 5121 is 1.
HCF(8345, 5121) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8345, 5121 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8345 > 5121, we apply the division lemma to 8345 and 5121, to get
8345 = 5121 x 1 + 3224
Step 2: Since the reminder 5121 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3224 and 5121, to get
5121 = 3224 x 1 + 1897
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3224 and the new remainder 1897, and apply the division lemma to get
3224 = 1897 x 1 + 1327
We consider the new divisor 1897 and the new remainder 1327,and apply the division lemma to get
1897 = 1327 x 1 + 570
We consider the new divisor 1327 and the new remainder 570,and apply the division lemma to get
1327 = 570 x 2 + 187
We consider the new divisor 570 and the new remainder 187,and apply the division lemma to get
570 = 187 x 3 + 9
We consider the new divisor 187 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
187 = 9 x 20 + 7
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 7 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 2 x 3 + 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 8345 and 5121 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(9,7) = HCF(187,9) = HCF(570,187) = HCF(1327,570) = HCF(1897,1327) = HCF(3224,1897) = HCF(5121,3224) = HCF(8345,5121) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
