HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6763, 2561 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6763, 2561 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 6763, 2561 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 6763, 2561 is 1.
HCF(6763, 2561) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6763, 2561 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6763 > 2561, we apply the division lemma to 6763 and 2561, to get
6763 = 2561 x 2 + 1641
Step 2: Since the reminder 2561 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1641 and 2561, to get
2561 = 1641 x 1 + 920
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1641 and the new remainder 920, and apply the division lemma to get
1641 = 920 x 1 + 721
We consider the new divisor 920 and the new remainder 721,and apply the division lemma to get
920 = 721 x 1 + 199
We consider the new divisor 721 and the new remainder 199,and apply the division lemma to get
721 = 199 x 3 + 124
We consider the new divisor 199 and the new remainder 124,and apply the division lemma to get
199 = 124 x 1 + 75
We consider the new divisor 124 and the new remainder 75,and apply the division lemma to get
124 = 75 x 1 + 49
We consider the new divisor 75 and the new remainder 49,and apply the division lemma to get
75 = 49 x 1 + 26
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 26 x 1 + 23
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 23 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 3 x 7 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 6763 and 2561 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(23,3) = HCF(26,23) = HCF(49,26) = HCF(75,49) = HCF(124,75) = HCF(199,124) = HCF(721,199) = HCF(920,721) = HCF(1641,920) = HCF(2561,1641) = HCF(6763,2561) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
