HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 352, 192, 358 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 352, 192, 358 is 2 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 352, 192, 358 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 352, 192, 358 is 2.
HCF(352, 192, 358) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 352, 192, 358 is 2.
Step 1: Since 352 > 192, we apply the division lemma to 352 and 192, to get
352 = 192 x 1 + 160
Step 2: Since the reminder 192 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 160 and 192, to get
192 = 160 x 1 + 32
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 160 and the new remainder 32, and apply the division lemma to get
160 = 32 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 32, the HCF of 352 and 192 is 32
Notice that 32 = HCF(160,32) = HCF(192,160) = HCF(352,192) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 358 > 32, we apply the division lemma to 358 and 32, to get
358 = 32 x 11 + 6
Step 2: Since the reminder 32 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 6 and 32, to get
32 = 6 x 5 + 2
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 2, and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 2 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 32 and 358 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(6,2) = HCF(32,6) = HCF(358,32) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 352, 192, 358?
Answer: HCF of 352, 192, 358 is 2 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 352, 192, 358 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 352, 192, 358 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
