HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 308, 471, 95, 413 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 308, 471, 95, 413 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 308, 471, 95, 413 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 308, 471, 95, 413 is 1.
HCF(308, 471, 95, 413) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 308, 471, 95, 413 is 1.
Step 1: Since 471 > 308, we apply the division lemma to 471 and 308, to get
471 = 308 x 1 + 163
Step 2: Since the reminder 308 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 163 and 308, to get
308 = 163 x 1 + 145
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 163 and the new remainder 145, and apply the division lemma to get
163 = 145 x 1 + 18
We consider the new divisor 145 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
145 = 18 x 8 + 1
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 1 x 18 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 308 and 471 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(18,1) = HCF(145,18) = HCF(163,145) = HCF(308,163) = HCF(471,308) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 95 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 95 and 1, to get
95 = 1 x 95 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 95 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(95,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 413 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 413 and 1, to get
413 = 1 x 413 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 413 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(413,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 308, 471, 95, 413?
Answer: HCF of 308, 471, 95, 413 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 308, 471, 95, 413 using Euclid's Algorithm?
