HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 353, 585, 64 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 353, 585, 64 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 353, 585, 64 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 353, 585, 64 is 1.
HCF(353, 585, 64) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 353, 585, 64 is 1.
Step 1: Since 585 > 353, we apply the division lemma to 585 and 353, to get
585 = 353 x 1 + 232
Step 2: Since the reminder 353 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 232 and 353, to get
353 = 232 x 1 + 121
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 232 and the new remainder 121, and apply the division lemma to get
232 = 121 x 1 + 111
We consider the new divisor 121 and the new remainder 111,and apply the division lemma to get
121 = 111 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 111 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
111 = 10 x 11 + 1
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 1 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 353 and 585 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(111,10) = HCF(121,111) = HCF(232,121) = HCF(353,232) = HCF(585,353) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 64 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 64 and 1, to get
64 = 1 x 64 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 64 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(64,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 353, 585, 64?
Answer: HCF of 353, 585, 64 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 353, 585, 64 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 353, 585, 64 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
