HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6497, 9045 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6497, 9045 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 6497, 9045 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 6497, 9045 is 1.
HCF(6497, 9045) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6497, 9045 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9045 > 6497, we apply the division lemma to 9045 and 6497, to get
9045 = 6497 x 1 + 2548
Step 2: Since the reminder 6497 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2548 and 6497, to get
6497 = 2548 x 2 + 1401
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2548 and the new remainder 1401, and apply the division lemma to get
2548 = 1401 x 1 + 1147
We consider the new divisor 1401 and the new remainder 1147,and apply the division lemma to get
1401 = 1147 x 1 + 254
We consider the new divisor 1147 and the new remainder 254,and apply the division lemma to get
1147 = 254 x 4 + 131
We consider the new divisor 254 and the new remainder 131,and apply the division lemma to get
254 = 131 x 1 + 123
We consider the new divisor 131 and the new remainder 123,and apply the division lemma to get
131 = 123 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 123 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
123 = 8 x 15 + 3
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 3 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 6497 and 9045 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(8,3) = HCF(123,8) = HCF(131,123) = HCF(254,131) = HCF(1147,254) = HCF(1401,1147) = HCF(2548,1401) = HCF(6497,2548) = HCF(9045,6497) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
