HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6956, 6477 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6956, 6477 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 6956, 6477 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 6956, 6477 is 1.
HCF(6956, 6477) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6956, 6477 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6956 > 6477, we apply the division lemma to 6956 and 6477, to get
6956 = 6477 x 1 + 479
Step 2: Since the reminder 6477 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 479 and 6477, to get
6477 = 479 x 13 + 250
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 479 and the new remainder 250, and apply the division lemma to get
479 = 250 x 1 + 229
We consider the new divisor 250 and the new remainder 229,and apply the division lemma to get
250 = 229 x 1 + 21
We consider the new divisor 229 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
229 = 21 x 10 + 19
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 19 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 2 x 9 + 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 6956 and 6477 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(19,2) = HCF(21,19) = HCF(229,21) = HCF(250,229) = HCF(479,250) = HCF(6477,479) = HCF(6956,6477) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
