HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 1193, 2601 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 1193, 2601 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 1193, 2601 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 1193, 2601 is 1.
HCF(1193, 2601) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 1193, 2601 is 1.
Step 1: Since 2601 > 1193, we apply the division lemma to 2601 and 1193, to get
2601 = 1193 x 2 + 215
Step 2: Since the reminder 1193 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 215 and 1193, to get
1193 = 215 x 5 + 118
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 215 and the new remainder 118, and apply the division lemma to get
215 = 118 x 1 + 97
We consider the new divisor 118 and the new remainder 97,and apply the division lemma to get
118 = 97 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 97 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
97 = 21 x 4 + 13
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 13 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 8 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 5 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 3 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 1193 and 2601 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(5,3) = HCF(8,5) = HCF(13,8) = HCF(21,13) = HCF(97,21) = HCF(118,97) = HCF(215,118) = HCF(1193,215) = HCF(2601,1193) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
