HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6612, 3305 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6612, 3305 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 6612, 3305 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 6612, 3305 is 1.
HCF(6612, 3305) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6612, 3305 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6612 > 3305, we apply the division lemma to 6612 and 3305, to get
6612 = 3305 x 2 + 2
Step 2: Since the reminder 3305 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2 and 3305, to get
3305 = 2 x 1652 + 1
Step 3: 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 6612 and 3305 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3305,2) = HCF(6612,3305) .
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 6612, 3305?
Answer: HCF of 6612, 3305 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 6612, 3305 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 6612, 3305 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
