HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6126, 385 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6126, 385 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 6126, 385 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 6126, 385 is 1.
HCF(6126, 385) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6126, 385 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6126 > 385, we apply the division lemma to 6126 and 385, to get
6126 = 385 x 15 + 351
Step 2: Since the reminder 385 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 351 and 385, to get
385 = 351 x 1 + 34
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 351 and the new remainder 34, and apply the division lemma to get
351 = 34 x 10 + 11
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 11 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 1 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6126 and 385 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(11,1) = HCF(34,11) = HCF(351,34) = HCF(385,351) = HCF(6126,385) .
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 6126, 385?
Answer: HCF of 6126, 385 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 6126, 385 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 6126, 385 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
