HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 35, 89, 38, 826 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 35, 89, 38, 826 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 35, 89, 38, 826 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 35, 89, 38, 826 is 1.
HCF(35, 89, 38, 826) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 35, 89, 38, 826 is 1.
Step 1: Since 89 > 35, we apply the division lemma to 89 and 35, to get
89 = 35 x 2 + 19
Step 2: Since the reminder 35 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 19 and 35, to get
35 = 19 x 1 + 16
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 16, and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 16 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 3 x 5 + 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 35 and 89 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(16,3) = HCF(19,16) = HCF(35,19) = HCF(89,35) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 38 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 38 and 1, to get
38 = 1 x 38 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 38 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(38,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 826 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 826 and 1, to get
826 = 1 x 826 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 826 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(826,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 35, 89, 38, 826?
Answer: HCF of 35, 89, 38, 826 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 35, 89, 38, 826 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 35, 89, 38, 826 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
