HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6905, 4022 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6905, 4022 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 6905, 4022 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 6905, 4022 is 1.
HCF(6905, 4022) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6905, 4022 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6905 > 4022, we apply the division lemma to 6905 and 4022, to get
6905 = 4022 x 1 + 2883
Step 2: Since the reminder 4022 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2883 and 4022, to get
4022 = 2883 x 1 + 1139
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 2883 and the new remainder 1139, and apply the division lemma to get
2883 = 1139 x 2 + 605
We consider the new divisor 1139 and the new remainder 605,and apply the division lemma to get
1139 = 605 x 1 + 534
We consider the new divisor 605 and the new remainder 534,and apply the division lemma to get
605 = 534 x 1 + 71
We consider the new divisor 534 and the new remainder 71,and apply the division lemma to get
534 = 71 x 7 + 37
We consider the new divisor 71 and the new remainder 37,and apply the division lemma to get
71 = 37 x 1 + 34
We consider the new divisor 37 and the new remainder 34,and apply the division lemma to get
37 = 34 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 3 x 11 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6905 and 4022 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(34,3) = HCF(37,34) = HCF(71,37) = HCF(534,71) = HCF(605,534) = HCF(1139,605) = HCF(2883,1139) = HCF(4022,2883) = HCF(6905,4022) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
