HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 4709, 6091 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 4709, 6091 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 4709, 6091 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 4709, 6091 is 1.
HCF(4709, 6091) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 4709, 6091 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6091 > 4709, we apply the division lemma to 6091 and 4709, to get
6091 = 4709 x 1 + 1382
Step 2: Since the reminder 4709 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1382 and 4709, to get
4709 = 1382 x 3 + 563
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1382 and the new remainder 563, and apply the division lemma to get
1382 = 563 x 2 + 256
We consider the new divisor 563 and the new remainder 256,and apply the division lemma to get
563 = 256 x 2 + 51
We consider the new divisor 256 and the new remainder 51,and apply the division lemma to get
256 = 51 x 5 + 1
We consider the new divisor 51 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
51 = 1 x 51 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4709 and 6091 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(51,1) = HCF(256,51) = HCF(563,256) = HCF(1382,563) = HCF(4709,1382) = HCF(6091,4709) .
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 4709, 6091?
Answer: HCF of 4709, 6091 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 4709, 6091 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 4709, 6091 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
