HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 330, 548, 320, 653 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 330, 548, 320, 653 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 330, 548, 320, 653 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 330, 548, 320, 653 is 1.
HCF(330, 548, 320, 653) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 330, 548, 320, 653 is 1.
Step 1: Since 548 > 330, we apply the division lemma to 548 and 330, to get
548 = 330 x 1 + 218
Step 2: Since the reminder 330 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 218 and 330, to get
330 = 218 x 1 + 112
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 218 and the new remainder 112, and apply the division lemma to get
218 = 112 x 1 + 106
We consider the new divisor 112 and the new remainder 106,and apply the division lemma to get
112 = 106 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 106 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
106 = 6 x 17 + 4
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 4 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 330 and 548 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(6,4) = HCF(106,6) = HCF(112,106) = HCF(218,112) = HCF(330,218) = HCF(548,330) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 320 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 320 and 2, to get
320 = 2 x 160 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 2 and 320 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(320,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 653 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 653 and 2, to get
653 = 2 x 326 + 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 653 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(653,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 330, 548, 320, 653?
Answer: HCF of 330, 548, 320, 653 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 330, 548, 320, 653 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 330, 548, 320, 653 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
