HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6996, 2773 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6996, 2773 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 6996, 2773 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 6996, 2773 is 1.
HCF(6996, 2773) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6996, 2773 is 1.
Step 1: Since 6996 > 2773, we apply the division lemma to 6996 and 2773, to get
6996 = 2773 x 2 + 1450
Step 2: Since the reminder 2773 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1450 and 2773, to get
2773 = 1450 x 1 + 1323
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 1450 and the new remainder 1323, and apply the division lemma to get
1450 = 1323 x 1 + 127
We consider the new divisor 1323 and the new remainder 127,and apply the division lemma to get
1323 = 127 x 10 + 53
We consider the new divisor 127 and the new remainder 53,and apply the division lemma to get
127 = 53 x 2 + 21
We consider the new divisor 53 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
53 = 21 x 2 + 11
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 11 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 10 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 1 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6996 and 2773 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(11,10) = HCF(21,11) = HCF(53,21) = HCF(127,53) = HCF(1323,127) = HCF(1450,1323) = HCF(2773,1450) = HCF(6996,2773) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
