HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 355, 813, 420, 22 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 355, 813, 420, 22 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, 813, 420, 22 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, 813, 420, 22 is 1.
HCF(355, 813, 420, 22) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 355, 813, 420, 22 is 1.
Step 1: Since 813 > 355, we apply the division lemma to 813 and 355, to get
813 = 355 x 2 + 103
Step 2: Since the reminder 355 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 103 and 355, to get
355 = 103 x 3 + 46
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 103 and the new remainder 46, and apply the division lemma to get
103 = 46 x 2 + 11
We consider the new divisor 46 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
46 = 11 x 4 + 2
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 2 x 5 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 355 and 813 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(11,2) = HCF(46,11) = HCF(103,46) = HCF(355,103) = HCF(813,355) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 420 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 420 and 1, to get
420 = 1 x 420 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 420 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(420,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 22 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 22 and 1, to get
22 = 1 x 22 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 22 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(22,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 355, 813, 420, 22?
Answer: HCF of 355, 813, 420, 22 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 355, 813, 420, 22 using Euclid's Algorithm?
