HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6092, 3384 i.e. 4 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6092, 3384 is 4 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 6092, 3384 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 6092, 3384 is 4.
HCF(6092, 3384) = 4
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6092, 3384 is 4.
Step 1: Since 6092 > 3384, we apply the division lemma to 6092 and 3384, to get
6092 = 3384 x 1 + 2708
Step 2: Since the reminder 3384 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2708 and 3384, to get
3384 = 2708 x 1 + 676
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2708 and the new remainder 676, and apply the division lemma to get
2708 = 676 x 4 + 4
We consider the new divisor 676 and the new remainder 4, and apply the division lemma to get
676 = 4 x 169 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 4, the HCF of 6092 and 3384 is 4
Notice that 4 = HCF(676,4) = HCF(2708,676) = HCF(3384,2708) = HCF(6092,3384) .
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 6092, 3384?
Answer: HCF of 6092, 3384 is 4 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 6092, 3384 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 6092, 3384 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
