HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 318, 110, 489, 190 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 318, 110, 489, 190 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 318, 110, 489, 190 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 318, 110, 489, 190 is 1.
HCF(318, 110, 489, 190) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 318, 110, 489, 190 is 1.
Step 1: Since 318 > 110, we apply the division lemma to 318 and 110, to get
318 = 110 x 2 + 98
Step 2: Since the reminder 110 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 98 and 110, to get
110 = 98 x 1 + 12
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 98 and the new remainder 12, and apply the division lemma to get
98 = 12 x 8 + 2
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 2, and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 2 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 318 and 110 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(12,2) = HCF(98,12) = HCF(110,98) = HCF(318,110) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 489 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 489 and 2, to get
489 = 2 x 244 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2 and 489 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(489,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 190 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 190 and 1, to get
190 = 1 x 190 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 190 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(190,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 318, 110, 489, 190?
Answer: HCF of 318, 110, 489, 190 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 318, 110, 489, 190 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 318, 110, 489, 190 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
