JavaScript prototype to calculate HCF of two numbers

HCF is Highest Common Factor. For example :- HCF of 4 and 6 is 2.
Prime Factors of 4 = 2, 2 
Prime Factors of 6 = 2, 3 
So 2 is common in both, hence the HCF of 4 and 6 is 2.

Took  32 minutes and 25 seconds to code JavaScript prototype to calculate HCF of two numbers. Here is the code snippet.


Code (Run Code):

function checkPrime(num) {
if (num == 1) {
return false;
} else if (num == 2) {
return true;
}

for (var x = 2; x < num; x++) {
if (num % x == 0) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}

function primeFactor(num) {
for (var i = 2; i < num; i++) {
if (num % i == 0) {
return i;
}
}
}

function primeFactors(num) {
arr = [];
x = num;
while (!checkPrime(x)) {
arr.push(primeFactor(x));
x = x / primeFactor(x);
}
arr.push(x);
return arr;
}

function calculateHCF(num1, num2) {
arr1 = primeFactors(num1);
arr2 = primeFactors(num2);
arr3 = [];
for (var i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++) {
for (var j = 0; j < arr2.length; j++) {
if (arr1[i] == arr2[j]) {
arr3.push(arr1[i]);
delete arr1[i];
delete arr2[j];
}
}
}
product = arr3[0];
for (var y = 1; y < arr3.length; y++) {
product *= arr3[y];
}
if (product == undefined) {
return 1;
} else {
return product;
}
}

function main(){
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML =
calculateHCF(document.getElementById("num1").value, document.getElementById("num2").value);
}
