HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 337, 624, 323 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 337, 624, 323 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 337, 624, 323 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 337, 624, 323 is 1.
HCF(337, 624, 323) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 337, 624, 323 is 1.
Step 1: Since 624 > 337, we apply the division lemma to 624 and 337, to get
624 = 337 x 1 + 287
Step 2: Since the reminder 337 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 287 and 337, to get
337 = 287 x 1 + 50
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 287 and the new remainder 50, and apply the division lemma to get
287 = 50 x 5 + 37
We consider the new divisor 50 and the new remainder 37,and apply the division lemma to get
50 = 37 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 37 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
37 = 13 x 2 + 11
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 11 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 2 x 5 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma 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 337 and 624 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(11,2) = HCF(13,11) = HCF(37,13) = HCF(50,37) = HCF(287,50) = HCF(337,287) = HCF(624,337) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 323 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 323 and 1, to get
323 = 1 x 323 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 323 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(323,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 337, 624, 323?
Answer: HCF of 337, 624, 323 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 337, 624, 323 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 337, 624, 323 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
