HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8783, 5154 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8783, 5154 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 8783, 5154 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 8783, 5154 is 1.
HCF(8783, 5154) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8783, 5154 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8783 > 5154, we apply the division lemma to 8783 and 5154, to get
8783 = 5154 x 1 + 3629
Step 2: Since the reminder 5154 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3629 and 5154, to get
5154 = 3629 x 1 + 1525
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3629 and the new remainder 1525, and apply the division lemma to get
3629 = 1525 x 2 + 579
We consider the new divisor 1525 and the new remainder 579,and apply the division lemma to get
1525 = 579 x 2 + 367
We consider the new divisor 579 and the new remainder 367,and apply the division lemma to get
579 = 367 x 1 + 212
We consider the new divisor 367 and the new remainder 212,and apply the division lemma to get
367 = 212 x 1 + 155
We consider the new divisor 212 and the new remainder 155,and apply the division lemma to get
212 = 155 x 1 + 57
We consider the new divisor 155 and the new remainder 57,and apply the division lemma to get
155 = 57 x 2 + 41
We consider the new divisor 57 and the new remainder 41,and apply the division lemma to get
57 = 41 x 1 + 16
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 16 x 2 + 9
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 9 x 1 + 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 8783 and 5154 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(9,7) = HCF(16,9) = HCF(41,16) = HCF(57,41) = HCF(155,57) = HCF(212,155) = HCF(367,212) = HCF(579,367) = HCF(1525,579) = HCF(3629,1525) = HCF(5154,3629) = HCF(8783,5154) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
