HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6595, 2958 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6595, 2958 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 6595, 2958 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 6595, 2958 is 1.
HCF(6595, 2958) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6595, 2958 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6595 > 2958, we apply the division lemma to 6595 and 2958, to get
6595 = 2958 x 2 + 679
Step 2: Since the reminder 2958 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 679 and 2958, to get
2958 = 679 x 4 + 242
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 679 and the new remainder 242, and apply the division lemma to get
679 = 242 x 2 + 195
We consider the new divisor 242 and the new remainder 195,and apply the division lemma to get
242 = 195 x 1 + 47
We consider the new divisor 195 and the new remainder 47,and apply the division lemma to get
195 = 47 x 4 + 7
We consider the new divisor 47 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
47 = 7 x 6 + 5
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 5 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 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 6595 and 2958 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(7,5) = HCF(47,7) = HCF(195,47) = HCF(242,195) = HCF(679,242) = HCF(2958,679) = HCF(6595,2958) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
