HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8211, 611 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8211, 611 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 8211, 611 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 8211, 611 is 1.
HCF(8211, 611) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8211, 611 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8211 > 611, we apply the division lemma to 8211 and 611, to get
8211 = 611 x 13 + 268
Step 2: Since the reminder 611 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 268 and 611, to get
611 = 268 x 2 + 75
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 268 and the new remainder 75, and apply the division lemma to get
268 = 75 x 3 + 43
We consider the new divisor 75 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
75 = 43 x 1 + 32
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 32,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 32 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 32 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
32 = 11 x 2 + 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 8211 and 611 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(11,10) = HCF(32,11) = HCF(43,32) = HCF(75,43) = HCF(268,75) = HCF(611,268) = HCF(8211,611) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 8211, 611?
Answer: HCF of 8211, 611 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 8211, 611 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 8211, 611 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
