HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6643, 8850 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6643, 8850 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 6643, 8850 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 6643, 8850 is 1.
HCF(6643, 8850) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6643, 8850 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8850 > 6643, we apply the division lemma to 8850 and 6643, to get
8850 = 6643 x 1 + 2207
Step 2: Since the reminder 6643 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2207 and 6643, to get
6643 = 2207 x 3 + 22
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2207 and the new remainder 22, and apply the division lemma to get
2207 = 22 x 100 + 7
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 7 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 1 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6643 and 8850 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(22,7) = HCF(2207,22) = HCF(6643,2207) = HCF(8850,6643) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 6643, 8850?
Answer: HCF of 6643, 8850 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 6643, 8850 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 6643, 8850 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
