HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 14, 239, 349, 102 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 14, 239, 349, 102 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 14, 239, 349, 102 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 14, 239, 349, 102 is 1.
HCF(14, 239, 349, 102) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 14, 239, 349, 102 is 1.
Step 1: Since 239 > 14, we apply the division lemma to 239 and 14, to get
239 = 14 x 17 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 14 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 14, to get
14 = 1 x 14 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 14 and 239 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(14,1) = HCF(239,14) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 349 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 349 and 1, to get
349 = 1 x 349 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 349 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(349,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 102 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 102 and 1, to get
102 = 1 x 102 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 102 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(102,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 14, 239, 349, 102?
Answer: HCF of 14, 239, 349, 102 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 14, 239, 349, 102 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 14, 239, 349, 102 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
