HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8595, 2380, 58781 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8595, 2380, 58781 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 8595, 2380, 58781 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 8595, 2380, 58781 is 1.
HCF(8595, 2380, 58781) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8595, 2380, 58781 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8595 > 2380, we apply the division lemma to 8595 and 2380, to get
8595 = 2380 x 3 + 1455
Step 2: Since the reminder 2380 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1455 and 2380, to get
2380 = 1455 x 1 + 925
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1455 and the new remainder 925, and apply the division lemma to get
1455 = 925 x 1 + 530
We consider the new divisor 925 and the new remainder 530,and apply the division lemma to get
925 = 530 x 1 + 395
We consider the new divisor 530 and the new remainder 395,and apply the division lemma to get
530 = 395 x 1 + 135
We consider the new divisor 395 and the new remainder 135,and apply the division lemma to get
395 = 135 x 2 + 125
We consider the new divisor 135 and the new remainder 125,and apply the division lemma to get
135 = 125 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 125 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
125 = 10 x 12 + 5
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 5 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 8595 and 2380 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(10,5) = HCF(125,10) = HCF(135,125) = HCF(395,135) = HCF(530,395) = HCF(925,530) = HCF(1455,925) = HCF(2380,1455) = HCF(8595,2380) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 58781 > 5, we apply the division lemma to 58781 and 5, to get
58781 = 5 x 11756 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 5 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 5, to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5 and 58781 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(58781,5) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
