HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6641, 1354 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6641, 1354 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 6641, 1354 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 6641, 1354 is 1.
HCF(6641, 1354) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6641, 1354 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6641 > 1354, we apply the division lemma to 6641 and 1354, to get
6641 = 1354 x 4 + 1225
Step 2: Since the reminder 1354 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1225 and 1354, to get
1354 = 1225 x 1 + 129
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1225 and the new remainder 129, and apply the division lemma to get
1225 = 129 x 9 + 64
We consider the new divisor 129 and the new remainder 64,and apply the division lemma to get
129 = 64 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 64 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
64 = 1 x 64 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6641 and 1354 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(64,1) = HCF(129,64) = HCF(1225,129) = HCF(1354,1225) = HCF(6641,1354) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
