HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 112, 393, 798, 683 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 112, 393, 798, 683 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 112, 393, 798, 683 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 112, 393, 798, 683 is 1.
HCF(112, 393, 798, 683) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 112, 393, 798, 683 is 1.
Step 1: Since 393 > 112, we apply the division lemma to 393 and 112, to get
393 = 112 x 3 + 57
Step 2: Since the reminder 112 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 57 and 112, to get
112 = 57 x 1 + 55
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 57 and the new remainder 55, and apply the division lemma to get
57 = 55 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 55 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
55 = 2 x 27 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 112 and 393 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(55,2) = HCF(57,55) = HCF(112,57) = HCF(393,112) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 798 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 798 and 1, to get
798 = 1 x 798 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 798 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(798,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 683 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 683 and 1, to get
683 = 1 x 683 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 683 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(683,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 112, 393, 798, 683?
Answer: HCF of 112, 393, 798, 683 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 112, 393, 798, 683 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 112, 393, 798, 683 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
