HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3010, 6631 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3010, 6631 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 3010, 6631 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 3010, 6631 is 1.
HCF(3010, 6631) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3010, 6631 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6631 > 3010, we apply the division lemma to 6631 and 3010, to get
6631 = 3010 x 2 + 611
Step 2: Since the reminder 3010 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 611 and 3010, to get
3010 = 611 x 4 + 566
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 611 and the new remainder 566, and apply the division lemma to get
611 = 566 x 1 + 45
We consider the new divisor 566 and the new remainder 45,and apply the division lemma to get
566 = 45 x 12 + 26
We consider the new divisor 45 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
45 = 26 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 19 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 7 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 5 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 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 3010 and 6631 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(7,5) = HCF(19,7) = HCF(26,19) = HCF(45,26) = HCF(566,45) = HCF(611,566) = HCF(3010,611) = HCF(6631,3010) .
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 3010, 6631?
Answer: HCF of 3010, 6631 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 3010, 6631 using Euclid's Algorithm?
