HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 354, 809, 123, 10 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 354, 809, 123, 10 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 354, 809, 123, 10 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 354, 809, 123, 10 is 1.
HCF(354, 809, 123, 10) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 354, 809, 123, 10 is 1.
Step 1: Since 809 > 354, we apply the division lemma to 809 and 354, to get
809 = 354 x 2 + 101
Step 2: Since the reminder 354 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 101 and 354, to get
354 = 101 x 3 + 51
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 101 and the new remainder 51, and apply the division lemma to get
101 = 51 x 1 + 50
We consider the new divisor 51 and the new remainder 50,and apply the division lemma to get
51 = 50 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 50 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
50 = 1 x 50 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 354 and 809 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(50,1) = HCF(51,50) = HCF(101,51) = HCF(354,101) = HCF(809,354) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 123 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 123 and 1, to get
123 = 1 x 123 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 123 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(123,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 10 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 10 and 1, 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 1 and 10 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 354, 809, 123, 10?
Answer: HCF of 354, 809, 123, 10 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 354, 809, 123, 10 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 354, 809, 123, 10 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
