HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2683, 1341 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2683, 1341 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 2683, 1341 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 2683, 1341 is 1.
HCF(2683, 1341) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2683, 1341 is 1.
Step 1: Since 2683 > 1341, we apply the division lemma to 2683 and 1341, to get
2683 = 1341 x 2 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 1341 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 1341, to get
1341 = 1 x 1341 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2683 and 1341 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(1341,1) = HCF(2683,1341) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 2683, 1341?
Answer: HCF of 2683, 1341 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 2683, 1341 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 2683, 1341 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
