HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 132, 143, 880, 811 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 132, 143, 880, 811 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 132, 143, 880, 811 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 132, 143, 880, 811 is 1.
HCF(132, 143, 880, 811) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 132, 143, 880, 811 is 1.
Step 1: Since 143 > 132, we apply the division lemma to 143 and 132, to get
143 = 132 x 1 + 11
Step 2: Since the reminder 132 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 11 and 132, to get
132 = 11 x 12 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 11, the HCF of 132 and 143 is 11
Notice that 11 = HCF(132,11) = HCF(143,132) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 880 > 11, we apply the division lemma to 880 and 11, to get
880 = 11 x 80 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 11, the HCF of 11 and 880 is 11
Notice that 11 = HCF(880,11) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 811 > 11, we apply the division lemma to 811 and 11, to get
811 = 11 x 73 + 8
Step 2: Since the reminder 11 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 8 and 11, to get
11 = 8 x 1 + 3
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 3, and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 3 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 11 and 811 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(8,3) = HCF(11,8) = HCF(811,11) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 132, 143, 880, 811?
Answer: HCF of 132, 143, 880, 811 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 132, 143, 880, 811 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 132, 143, 880, 811 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
