HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2271, 6010 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2271, 6010 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 2271, 6010 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 2271, 6010 is 1.
HCF(2271, 6010) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2271, 6010 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6010 > 2271, we apply the division lemma to 6010 and 2271, to get
6010 = 2271 x 2 + 1468
Step 2: Since the reminder 2271 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1468 and 2271, to get
2271 = 1468 x 1 + 803
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1468 and the new remainder 803, and apply the division lemma to get
1468 = 803 x 1 + 665
We consider the new divisor 803 and the new remainder 665,and apply the division lemma to get
803 = 665 x 1 + 138
We consider the new divisor 665 and the new remainder 138,and apply the division lemma to get
665 = 138 x 4 + 113
We consider the new divisor 138 and the new remainder 113,and apply the division lemma to get
138 = 113 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 113 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
113 = 25 x 4 + 13
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 13 x 1 + 12
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 12 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 1 x 12 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2271 and 6010 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(12,1) = HCF(13,12) = HCF(25,13) = HCF(113,25) = HCF(138,113) = HCF(665,138) = HCF(803,665) = HCF(1468,803) = HCF(2271,1468) = HCF(6010,2271) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
