HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 269, 618, 366, 90 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 269, 618, 366, 90 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 269, 618, 366, 90 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 269, 618, 366, 90 is 1.
HCF(269, 618, 366, 90) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 269, 618, 366, 90 is 1.
Step 1: Since 618 > 269, we apply the division lemma to 618 and 269, to get
618 = 269 x 2 + 80
Step 2: Since the reminder 269 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 80 and 269, to get
269 = 80 x 3 + 29
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 80 and the new remainder 29, and apply the division lemma to get
80 = 29 x 2 + 22
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 22 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 7 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 1 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 269 and 618 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(22,7) = HCF(29,22) = HCF(80,29) = HCF(269,80) = HCF(618,269) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 366 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 366 and 1, to get
366 = 1 x 366 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 366 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(366,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 90 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 90 and 1, to get
90 = 1 x 90 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 90 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(90,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 269, 618, 366, 90?
Answer: HCF of 269, 618, 366, 90 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 269, 618, 366, 90 using Euclid's Algorithm?
