HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6395, 3494 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6395, 3494 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 6395, 3494 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 6395, 3494 is 1.
HCF(6395, 3494) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6395, 3494 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6395 > 3494, we apply the division lemma to 6395 and 3494, to get
6395 = 3494 x 1 + 2901
Step 2: Since the reminder 3494 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2901 and 3494, to get
3494 = 2901 x 1 + 593
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2901 and the new remainder 593, and apply the division lemma to get
2901 = 593 x 4 + 529
We consider the new divisor 593 and the new remainder 529,and apply the division lemma to get
593 = 529 x 1 + 64
We consider the new divisor 529 and the new remainder 64,and apply the division lemma to get
529 = 64 x 8 + 17
We consider the new divisor 64 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
64 = 17 x 3 + 13
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 13 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 4 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6395 and 3494 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(13,4) = HCF(17,13) = HCF(64,17) = HCF(529,64) = HCF(593,529) = HCF(2901,593) = HCF(3494,2901) = HCF(6395,3494) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
