HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6322, 2895 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6322, 2895 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 6322, 2895 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 6322, 2895 is 1.
HCF(6322, 2895) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6322, 2895 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6322 > 2895, we apply the division lemma to 6322 and 2895, to get
6322 = 2895 x 2 + 532
Step 2: Since the reminder 2895 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 532 and 2895, to get
2895 = 532 x 5 + 235
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 532 and the new remainder 235, and apply the division lemma to get
532 = 235 x 2 + 62
We consider the new divisor 235 and the new remainder 62,and apply the division lemma to get
235 = 62 x 3 + 49
We consider the new divisor 62 and the new remainder 49,and apply the division lemma to get
62 = 49 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 13 x 3 + 10
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 10 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 3 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6322 and 2895 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(10,3) = HCF(13,10) = HCF(49,13) = HCF(62,49) = HCF(235,62) = HCF(532,235) = HCF(2895,532) = HCF(6322,2895) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
