HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6211, 9368 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6211, 9368 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 6211, 9368 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 6211, 9368 is 1.
HCF(6211, 9368) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6211, 9368 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9368 > 6211, we apply the division lemma to 9368 and 6211, to get
9368 = 6211 x 1 + 3157
Step 2: Since the reminder 6211 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3157 and 6211, to get
6211 = 3157 x 1 + 3054
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3157 and the new remainder 3054, and apply the division lemma to get
3157 = 3054 x 1 + 103
We consider the new divisor 3054 and the new remainder 103,and apply the division lemma to get
3054 = 103 x 29 + 67
We consider the new divisor 103 and the new remainder 67,and apply the division lemma to get
103 = 67 x 1 + 36
We consider the new divisor 67 and the new remainder 36,and apply the division lemma to get
67 = 36 x 1 + 31
We consider the new divisor 36 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
36 = 31 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 5 x 6 + 1
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6211 and 9368 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(31,5) = HCF(36,31) = HCF(67,36) = HCF(103,67) = HCF(3054,103) = HCF(3157,3054) = HCF(6211,3157) = HCF(9368,6211) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
