HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 1222, 6763 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 1222, 6763 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 1222, 6763 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 1222, 6763 is 1.
HCF(1222, 6763) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 1222, 6763 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6763 > 1222, we apply the division lemma to 6763 and 1222, to get
6763 = 1222 x 5 + 653
Step 2: Since the reminder 1222 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 653 and 1222, to get
1222 = 653 x 1 + 569
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 653 and the new remainder 569, and apply the division lemma to get
653 = 569 x 1 + 84
We consider the new divisor 569 and the new remainder 84,and apply the division lemma to get
569 = 84 x 6 + 65
We consider the new divisor 84 and the new remainder 65,and apply the division lemma to get
84 = 65 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 65 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
65 = 19 x 3 + 8
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 8 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 3 x 2 + 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 1222 and 6763 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(8,3) = HCF(19,8) = HCF(65,19) = HCF(84,65) = HCF(569,84) = HCF(653,569) = HCF(1222,653) = HCF(6763,1222) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
