C#: Determine the HCF of two numbers

C# Sharp For Loop: Exercise-43 with Solution

Write a C# Sharp program to find the HCF (Highest Common Factor) of two numbers.

C# Sharp: Determine the HCF of two numbers

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;  // Importing necessary namespace

public class Exercise43  // Declaration of the Exercise43 class
{  
    public static void Main()  // Main method, entry point of the program
    {  
        // Declaration of variables
        int i, n1, n2, j, hcf = 1; 

        // Displaying information about determining the HCF of two numbers
        Console.Write("\n\n");
        Console.Write("Determine the HCF of two numbers:\n");
        Console.Write("-----------------------------------");
        Console.Write("\n\n");

        // Prompting user to input the first number for HCF
        Console.Write("Input 1st number for HCF: ");  
        n1 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());	

        // Prompting user to input the second number for HCF
        Console.Write("Input 2nd number for HCF: ");  
        n2 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());	

        j = (n1 < n2) ? n1 : n2;  // Determining the smaller number between n1 and n2

        // Loop to find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of n1 and n2
        for (i = 1; i <= j; i++)  
        {  
            if (n1 % i == 0 && n2 % i == 0)  
            {  
                hcf = i;  // Updating the HCF whenever both numbers are divisible by 'i'
            }  
        }  

        // Displaying the calculated HCF of n1 and n2
        Console.Write("\nHCF of {0} and {1} is : {2}\n\n", n1, n2, hcf);  
    } 
}

Sample Output:

Determine the HCF of two numbers:                                                                           
-----------------------------------                                                                                                   
Input 1st number for HCF: 10                                                                                
Input 2nd number for HCF: 14                                                                                                   
HCF of 10 and 14 is : 2
