HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6527, 2440 i.e. 61 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6527, 2440 is 61 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 6527, 2440 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 6527, 2440 is 61.
HCF(6527, 2440) = 61
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6527, 2440 is 61.
Step 1: Since 6527 > 2440, we apply the division lemma to 6527 and 2440, to get
6527 = 2440 x 2 + 1647
Step 2: Since the reminder 2440 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1647 and 2440, to get
2440 = 1647 x 1 + 793
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1647 and the new remainder 793, and apply the division lemma to get
1647 = 793 x 2 + 61
We consider the new divisor 793 and the new remainder 61, and apply the division lemma to get
793 = 61 x 13 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 61, the HCF of 6527 and 2440 is 61
Notice that 61 = HCF(793,61) = HCF(1647,793) = HCF(2440,1647) = HCF(6527,2440) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
