HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 2783, 6706 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 2783, 6706 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 2783, 6706 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 2783, 6706 is 1.
HCF(2783, 6706) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 2783, 6706 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6706 > 2783, we apply the division lemma to 6706 and 2783, to get
6706 = 2783 x 2 + 1140
Step 2: Since the reminder 2783 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1140 and 2783, to get
2783 = 1140 x 2 + 503
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1140 and the new remainder 503, and apply the division lemma to get
1140 = 503 x 2 + 134
We consider the new divisor 503 and the new remainder 134,and apply the division lemma to get
503 = 134 x 3 + 101
We consider the new divisor 134 and the new remainder 101,and apply the division lemma to get
134 = 101 x 1 + 33
We consider the new divisor 101 and the new remainder 33,and apply the division lemma to get
101 = 33 x 3 + 2
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 2 x 16 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2783 and 6706 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(33,2) = HCF(101,33) = HCF(134,101) = HCF(503,134) = HCF(1140,503) = HCF(2783,1140) = HCF(6706,2783) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
