HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 514, 6195 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 514, 6195 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 514, 6195 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 514, 6195 is 1.
HCF(514, 6195) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 514, 6195 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6195 > 514, we apply the division lemma to 6195 and 514, to get
6195 = 514 x 12 + 27
Step 2: Since the reminder 514 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 27 and 514, to get
514 = 27 x 19 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 1 x 27 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 514 and 6195 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(27,1) = HCF(514,27) = HCF(6195,514) .
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 514, 6195?
Answer: HCF of 514, 6195 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 514, 6195 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 514, 6195 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
