HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 323, 436, 665, 79 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 323, 436, 665, 79 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 323, 436, 665, 79 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 323, 436, 665, 79 is 1.
HCF(323, 436, 665, 79) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 323, 436, 665, 79 is 1.
Step 1: Since 436 > 323, we apply the division lemma to 436 and 323, to get
436 = 323 x 1 + 113
Step 2: Since the reminder 323 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 113 and 323, to get
323 = 113 x 2 + 97
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 113 and the new remainder 97, and apply the division lemma to get
113 = 97 x 1 + 16
We consider the new divisor 97 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
97 = 16 x 6 + 1
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 1 x 16 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 323 and 436 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(16,1) = HCF(97,16) = HCF(113,97) = HCF(323,113) = HCF(436,323) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 665 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 665 and 1, to get
665 = 1 x 665 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 665 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(665,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 79 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 79 and 1, to get
79 = 1 x 79 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 79 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(79,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 323, 436, 665, 79?
Answer: HCF of 323, 436, 665, 79 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 323, 436, 665, 79 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 323, 436, 665, 79 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
