HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 313, 516, 729 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 313, 516, 729 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 313, 516, 729 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 313, 516, 729 is 1.
HCF(313, 516, 729) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 313, 516, 729 is 1.
Step 1: Since 516 > 313, we apply the division lemma to 516 and 313, to get
516 = 313 x 1 + 203
Step 2: Since the reminder 313 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 203 and 313, to get
313 = 203 x 1 + 110
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 203 and the new remainder 110, and apply the division lemma to get
203 = 110 x 1 + 93
We consider the new divisor 110 and the new remainder 93,and apply the division lemma to get
110 = 93 x 1 + 17
We consider the new divisor 93 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
93 = 17 x 5 + 8
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 8 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 1 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 313 and 516 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(17,8) = HCF(93,17) = HCF(110,93) = HCF(203,110) = HCF(313,203) = HCF(516,313) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 729 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 729 and 1, to get
729 = 1 x 729 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 729 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(729,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 313, 516, 729?
Answer: HCF of 313, 516, 729 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 313, 516, 729 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 313, 516, 729 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
