HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8562, 5317 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8562, 5317 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 8562, 5317 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 8562, 5317 is 1.
HCF(8562, 5317) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8562, 5317 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8562 > 5317, we apply the division lemma to 8562 and 5317, to get
8562 = 5317 x 1 + 3245
Step 2: Since the reminder 5317 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3245 and 5317, to get
5317 = 3245 x 1 + 2072
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3245 and the new remainder 2072, and apply the division lemma to get
3245 = 2072 x 1 + 1173
We consider the new divisor 2072 and the new remainder 1173,and apply the division lemma to get
2072 = 1173 x 1 + 899
We consider the new divisor 1173 and the new remainder 899,and apply the division lemma to get
1173 = 899 x 1 + 274
We consider the new divisor 899 and the new remainder 274,and apply the division lemma to get
899 = 274 x 3 + 77
We consider the new divisor 274 and the new remainder 77,and apply the division lemma to get
274 = 77 x 3 + 43
We consider the new divisor 77 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
77 = 43 x 1 + 34
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 34 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 9 x 3 + 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 8562 and 5317 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(9,7) = HCF(34,9) = HCF(43,34) = HCF(77,43) = HCF(274,77) = HCF(899,274) = HCF(1173,899) = HCF(2072,1173) = HCF(3245,2072) = HCF(5317,3245) = HCF(8562,5317) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
