HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 1634, 6063 i.e. 43 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 1634, 6063 is 43 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 1634, 6063 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 1634, 6063 is 43.
HCF(1634, 6063) = 43
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 1634, 6063 is 43.
Step 1: Since 6063 > 1634, we apply the division lemma to 6063 and 1634, to get
6063 = 1634 x 3 + 1161
Step 2: Since the reminder 1634 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1161 and 1634, to get
1634 = 1161 x 1 + 473
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1161 and the new remainder 473, and apply the division lemma to get
1161 = 473 x 2 + 215
We consider the new divisor 473 and the new remainder 215,and apply the division lemma to get
473 = 215 x 2 + 43
We consider the new divisor 215 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
215 = 43 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 43, the HCF of 1634 and 6063 is 43
Notice that 43 = HCF(215,43) = HCF(473,215) = HCF(1161,473) = HCF(1634,1161) = HCF(6063,1634) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
