HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6713, 3957 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6713, 3957 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 6713, 3957 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 6713, 3957 is 1.
HCF(6713, 3957) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6713, 3957 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6713 > 3957, we apply the division lemma to 6713 and 3957, to get
6713 = 3957 x 1 + 2756
Step 2: Since the reminder 3957 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2756 and 3957, to get
3957 = 2756 x 1 + 1201
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2756 and the new remainder 1201, and apply the division lemma to get
2756 = 1201 x 2 + 354
We consider the new divisor 1201 and the new remainder 354,and apply the division lemma to get
1201 = 354 x 3 + 139
We consider the new divisor 354 and the new remainder 139,and apply the division lemma to get
354 = 139 x 2 + 76
We consider the new divisor 139 and the new remainder 76,and apply the division lemma to get
139 = 76 x 1 + 63
We consider the new divisor 76 and the new remainder 63,and apply the division lemma to get
76 = 63 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 63 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
63 = 13 x 4 + 11
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 11 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 2 x 5 + 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 6713 and 3957 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(11,2) = HCF(13,11) = HCF(63,13) = HCF(76,63) = HCF(139,76) = HCF(354,139) = HCF(1201,354) = HCF(2756,1201) = HCF(3957,2756) = HCF(6713,3957) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
