HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2289, 6578 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2289, 6578 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 2289, 6578 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 2289, 6578 is 1.
HCF(2289, 6578) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2289, 6578 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6578 > 2289, we apply the division lemma to 6578 and 2289, to get
6578 = 2289 x 2 + 2000
Step 2: Since the reminder 2289 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2000 and 2289, to get
2289 = 2000 x 1 + 289
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2000 and the new remainder 289, and apply the division lemma to get
2000 = 289 x 6 + 266
We consider the new divisor 289 and the new remainder 266,and apply the division lemma to get
289 = 266 x 1 + 23
We consider the new divisor 266 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
266 = 23 x 11 + 13
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 13 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 10 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 3 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2289 and 6578 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(10,3) = HCF(13,10) = HCF(23,13) = HCF(266,23) = HCF(289,266) = HCF(2000,289) = HCF(2289,2000) = HCF(6578,2289) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
