HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6283, 1971 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6283, 1971 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 6283, 1971 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 6283, 1971 is 1.
HCF(6283, 1971) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6283, 1971 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6283 > 1971, we apply the division lemma to 6283 and 1971, to get
6283 = 1971 x 3 + 370
Step 2: Since the reminder 1971 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 370 and 1971, to get
1971 = 370 x 5 + 121
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 370 and the new remainder 121, and apply the division lemma to get
370 = 121 x 3 + 7
We consider the new divisor 121 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
121 = 7 x 17 + 2
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 2 x 3 + 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 6283 and 1971 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(7,2) = HCF(121,7) = HCF(370,121) = HCF(1971,370) = HCF(6283,1971) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
