HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 293, 932, 70, 757 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 293, 932, 70, 757 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 293, 932, 70, 757 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 293, 932, 70, 757 is 1.
HCF(293, 932, 70, 757) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 293, 932, 70, 757 is 1.
Step 1: Since 932 > 293, we apply the division lemma to 932 and 293, to get
932 = 293 x 3 + 53
Step 2: Since the reminder 293 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 53 and 293, to get
293 = 53 x 5 + 28
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 53 and the new remainder 28, and apply the division lemma to get
53 = 28 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 25 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 3 x 8 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 293 and 932 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(25,3) = HCF(28,25) = HCF(53,28) = HCF(293,53) = HCF(932,293) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 70 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 70 and 1, to get
70 = 1 x 70 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 70 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(70,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 757 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 757 and 1, to get
757 = 1 x 757 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 757 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(757,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 293, 932, 70, 757?
Answer: HCF of 293, 932, 70, 757 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 293, 932, 70, 757 using Euclid's Algorithm?
