HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 341, 281, 170, 725 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 341, 281, 170, 725 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 341, 281, 170, 725 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 341, 281, 170, 725 is 1.
HCF(341, 281, 170, 725) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 341, 281, 170, 725 is 1.
Step 1: Since 341 > 281, we apply the division lemma to 341 and 281, to get
341 = 281 x 1 + 60
Step 2: Since the reminder 281 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 60 and 281, to get
281 = 60 x 4 + 41
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 60 and the new remainder 41, and apply the division lemma to get
60 = 41 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 19 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 3 x 6 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 341 and 281 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(19,3) = HCF(41,19) = HCF(60,41) = HCF(281,60) = HCF(341,281) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 170 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 170 and 1, to get
170 = 1 x 170 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 170 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(170,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 725 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 725 and 1, to get
725 = 1 x 725 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 725 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(725,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 341, 281, 170, 725?
Answer: HCF of 341, 281, 170, 725 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 341, 281, 170, 725 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 341, 281, 170, 725 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
