HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 165, 845, 835, 176 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 165, 845, 835, 176 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 165, 845, 835, 176 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 165, 845, 835, 176 is 1.
HCF(165, 845, 835, 176) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 165, 845, 835, 176 is 1.
Step 1: Since 845 > 165, we apply the division lemma to 845 and 165, to get
845 = 165 x 5 + 20
Step 2: Since the reminder 165 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 20 and 165, to get
165 = 20 x 8 + 5
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 5, and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 5 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 165 and 845 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(20,5) = HCF(165,20) = HCF(845,165) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 835 > 5, we apply the division lemma to 835 and 5, to get
835 = 5 x 167 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 5, the HCF of 5 and 835 is 5
Notice that 5 = HCF(835,5) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 176 > 5, we apply the division lemma to 176 and 5, to get
176 = 5 x 35 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 5 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 5, to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 5 and 176 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(176,5) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 165, 845, 835, 176?
Answer: HCF of 165, 845, 835, 176 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 165, 845, 835, 176 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 165, 845, 835, 176 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
