HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6333, 4718 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6333, 4718 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 6333, 4718 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 6333, 4718 is 1.
HCF(6333, 4718) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6333, 4718 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6333 > 4718, we apply the division lemma to 6333 and 4718, to get
6333 = 4718 x 1 + 1615
Step 2: Since the reminder 4718 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1615 and 4718, to get
4718 = 1615 x 2 + 1488
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1615 and the new remainder 1488, and apply the division lemma to get
1615 = 1488 x 1 + 127
We consider the new divisor 1488 and the new remainder 127,and apply the division lemma to get
1488 = 127 x 11 + 91
We consider the new divisor 127 and the new remainder 91,and apply the division lemma to get
127 = 91 x 1 + 36
We consider the new divisor 91 and the new remainder 36,and apply the division lemma to get
91 = 36 x 2 + 19
We consider the new divisor 36 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
36 = 19 x 1 + 17
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 17 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 2 x 8 + 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 6333 and 4718 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(17,2) = HCF(19,17) = HCF(36,19) = HCF(91,36) = HCF(127,91) = HCF(1488,127) = HCF(1615,1488) = HCF(4718,1615) = HCF(6333,4718) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
