HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 355, 619, 89 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 355, 619, 89 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 355, 619, 89 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 355, 619, 89 is 1.
HCF(355, 619, 89) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 355, 619, 89 is 1.
Step 1: Since 619 > 355, we apply the division lemma to 619 and 355, to get
619 = 355 x 1 + 264
Step 2: Since the reminder 355 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 264 and 355, to get
355 = 264 x 1 + 91
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 264 and the new remainder 91, and apply the division lemma to get
264 = 91 x 2 + 82
We consider the new divisor 91 and the new remainder 82,and apply the division lemma to get
91 = 82 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 82 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
82 = 9 x 9 + 1
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 1 x 9 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 355 and 619 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(9,1) = HCF(82,9) = HCF(91,82) = HCF(264,91) = HCF(355,264) = HCF(619,355) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 89 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 89 and 1, to get
89 = 1 x 89 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 89 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(89,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 355, 619, 89?
Answer: HCF of 355, 619, 89 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 355, 619, 89 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 355, 619, 89 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
