HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6047, 4156 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6047, 4156 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 6047, 4156 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 6047, 4156 is 1.
HCF(6047, 4156) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6047, 4156 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6047 > 4156, we apply the division lemma to 6047 and 4156, to get
6047 = 4156 x 1 + 1891
Step 2: Since the reminder 4156 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1891 and 4156, to get
4156 = 1891 x 2 + 374
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1891 and the new remainder 374, and apply the division lemma to get
1891 = 374 x 5 + 21
We consider the new divisor 374 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
374 = 21 x 17 + 17
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 17 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 4 x 4 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6047 and 4156 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(17,4) = HCF(21,17) = HCF(374,21) = HCF(1891,374) = HCF(4156,1891) = HCF(6047,4156) .
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 6047, 4156?
Answer: HCF of 6047, 4156 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 6047, 4156 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 6047, 4156 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
