HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 30, 45, 39, 913 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 30, 45, 39, 913 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 30, 45, 39, 913 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 30, 45, 39, 913 is 1.
HCF(30, 45, 39, 913) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 30, 45, 39, 913 is 1.
Step 1: Since 45 > 30, we apply the division lemma to 45 and 30, to get
45 = 30 x 1 + 15
Step 2: Since the reminder 30 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 15 and 30, to get
30 = 15 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 15, the HCF of 30 and 45 is 15
Notice that 15 = HCF(30,15) = HCF(45,30) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 39 > 15, we apply the division lemma to 39 and 15, to get
39 = 15 x 2 + 9
Step 2: Since the reminder 15 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 9 and 15, to get
15 = 9 x 1 + 6
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 6, and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 6 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 3, and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 3 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 15 and 39 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(6,3) = HCF(9,6) = HCF(15,9) = HCF(39,15) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 913 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 913 and 3, to get
913 = 3 x 304 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 3, 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 3 and 913 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(913,3) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 30, 45, 39, 913?
Answer: HCF of 30, 45, 39, 913 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 30, 45, 39, 913 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 30, 45, 39, 913 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
