HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6455, 376 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6455, 376 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 6455, 376 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 6455, 376 is 1.
HCF(6455, 376) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6455, 376 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6455 > 376, we apply the division lemma to 6455 and 376, to get
6455 = 376 x 17 + 63
Step 2: Since the reminder 376 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 63 and 376, to get
376 = 63 x 5 + 61
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 63 and the new remainder 61, and apply the division lemma to get
63 = 61 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 2 x 30 + 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 6455 and 376 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(61,2) = HCF(63,61) = HCF(376,63) = HCF(6455,376) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 6455, 376?
Answer: HCF of 6455, 376 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 6455, 376 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 6455, 376 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
