HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6207, 2812 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6207, 2812 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 6207, 2812 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 6207, 2812 is 1.
HCF(6207, 2812) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6207, 2812 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6207 > 2812, we apply the division lemma to 6207 and 2812, to get
6207 = 2812 x 2 + 583
Step 2: Since the reminder 2812 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 583 and 2812, to get
2812 = 583 x 4 + 480
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 583 and the new remainder 480, and apply the division lemma to get
583 = 480 x 1 + 103
We consider the new divisor 480 and the new remainder 103,and apply the division lemma to get
480 = 103 x 4 + 68
We consider the new divisor 103 and the new remainder 68,and apply the division lemma to get
103 = 68 x 1 + 35
We consider the new divisor 68 and the new remainder 35,and apply the division lemma to get
68 = 35 x 1 + 33
We consider the new divisor 35 and the new remainder 33,and apply the division lemma to get
35 = 33 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 2 x 16 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6207 and 2812 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(33,2) = HCF(35,33) = HCF(68,35) = HCF(103,68) = HCF(480,103) = HCF(583,480) = HCF(2812,583) = HCF(6207,2812) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
