HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4281, 6775 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4281, 6775 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 4281, 6775 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 4281, 6775 is 1.
HCF(4281, 6775) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4281, 6775 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6775 > 4281, we apply the division lemma to 6775 and 4281, to get
6775 = 4281 x 1 + 2494
Step 2: Since the reminder 4281 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2494 and 4281, to get
4281 = 2494 x 1 + 1787
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2494 and the new remainder 1787, and apply the division lemma to get
2494 = 1787 x 1 + 707
We consider the new divisor 1787 and the new remainder 707,and apply the division lemma to get
1787 = 707 x 2 + 373
We consider the new divisor 707 and the new remainder 373,and apply the division lemma to get
707 = 373 x 1 + 334
We consider the new divisor 373 and the new remainder 334,and apply the division lemma to get
373 = 334 x 1 + 39
We consider the new divisor 334 and the new remainder 39,and apply the division lemma to get
334 = 39 x 8 + 22
We consider the new divisor 39 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
39 = 22 x 1 + 17
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 17 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 5 x 3 + 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 4281 and 6775 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(17,5) = HCF(22,17) = HCF(39,22) = HCF(334,39) = HCF(373,334) = HCF(707,373) = HCF(1787,707) = HCF(2494,1787) = HCF(4281,2494) = HCF(6775,4281) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
