HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6113, 723 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6113, 723 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 6113, 723 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 6113, 723 is 1.
HCF(6113, 723) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6113, 723 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6113 > 723, we apply the division lemma to 6113 and 723, to get
6113 = 723 x 8 + 329
Step 2: Since the reminder 723 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 329 and 723, to get
723 = 329 x 2 + 65
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 329 and the new remainder 65, and apply the division lemma to get
329 = 65 x 5 + 4
We consider the new divisor 65 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
65 = 4 x 16 + 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 6113 and 723 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(65,4) = HCF(329,65) = HCF(723,329) = HCF(6113,723) .
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 6113, 723?
Answer: HCF of 6113, 723 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 6113, 723 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 6113, 723 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
