HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 3353, 2068 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 3353, 2068 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 3353, 2068 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 3353, 2068 is 1.
HCF(3353, 2068) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 3353, 2068 is 1.
Step 1: Since 3353 > 2068, we apply the division lemma to 3353 and 2068, to get
3353 = 2068 x 1 + 1285
Step 2: Since the reminder 2068 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1285 and 2068, to get
2068 = 1285 x 1 + 783
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1285 and the new remainder 783, and apply the division lemma to get
1285 = 783 x 1 + 502
We consider the new divisor 783 and the new remainder 502,and apply the division lemma to get
783 = 502 x 1 + 281
We consider the new divisor 502 and the new remainder 281,and apply the division lemma to get
502 = 281 x 1 + 221
We consider the new divisor 281 and the new remainder 221,and apply the division lemma to get
281 = 221 x 1 + 60
We consider the new divisor 221 and the new remainder 60,and apply the division lemma to get
221 = 60 x 3 + 41
We consider the new divisor 60 and the new remainder 41,and apply the division lemma to get
60 = 41 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 19 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 3 x 6 + 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 3353 and 2068 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(19,3) = HCF(41,19) = HCF(60,41) = HCF(221,60) = HCF(281,221) = HCF(502,281) = HCF(783,502) = HCF(1285,783) = HCF(2068,1285) = HCF(3353,2068) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
