HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 566, 479, 48, 150 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 566, 479, 48, 150 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 566, 479, 48, 150 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 566, 479, 48, 150 is 1.
HCF(566, 479, 48, 150) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 566, 479, 48, 150 is 1.
Step 1: Since 566 > 479, we apply the division lemma to 566 and 479, to get
566 = 479 x 1 + 87
Step 2: Since the reminder 479 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 87 and 479, to get
479 = 87 x 5 + 44
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 87 and the new remainder 44, and apply the division lemma to get
87 = 44 x 1 + 43
We consider the new divisor 44 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
44 = 43 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 1 x 43 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 566 and 479 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(43,1) = HCF(44,43) = HCF(87,44) = HCF(479,87) = HCF(566,479) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 48 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 48 and 1, to get
48 = 1 x 48 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 48 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(48,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 150 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 150 and 1, to get
150 = 1 x 150 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 150 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(150,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 566, 479, 48, 150?
Answer: HCF of 566, 479, 48, 150 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 566, 479, 48, 150 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 566, 479, 48, 150 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
