HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2534, 6027 i.e. 7 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2534, 6027 is 7 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 2534, 6027 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 2534, 6027 is 7.
HCF(2534, 6027) = 7
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2534, 6027 is 7.
Step 1: Since 6027 > 2534, we apply the division lemma to 6027 and 2534, to get
6027 = 2534 x 2 + 959
Step 2: Since the reminder 2534 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 959 and 2534, to get
2534 = 959 x 2 + 616
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 959 and the new remainder 616, and apply the division lemma to get
959 = 616 x 1 + 343
We consider the new divisor 616 and the new remainder 343,and apply the division lemma to get
616 = 343 x 1 + 273
We consider the new divisor 343 and the new remainder 273,and apply the division lemma to get
343 = 273 x 1 + 70
We consider the new divisor 273 and the new remainder 70,and apply the division lemma to get
273 = 70 x 3 + 63
We consider the new divisor 70 and the new remainder 63,and apply the division lemma to get
70 = 63 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 63 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
63 = 7 x 9 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 7, the HCF of 2534 and 6027 is 7
Notice that 7 = HCF(63,7) = HCF(70,63) = HCF(273,70) = HCF(343,273) = HCF(616,343) = HCF(959,616) = HCF(2534,959) = HCF(6027,2534) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
