HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 371, 619, 372, 607 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 371, 619, 372, 607 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 371, 619, 372, 607 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 371, 619, 372, 607 is 1.
HCF(371, 619, 372, 607) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 371, 619, 372, 607 is 1.
Step 1: Since 619 > 371, we apply the division lemma to 619 and 371, to get
619 = 371 x 1 + 248
Step 2: Since the reminder 371 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 248 and 371, to get
371 = 248 x 1 + 123
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 248 and the new remainder 123, and apply the division lemma to get
248 = 123 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 123 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
123 = 2 x 61 + 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 371 and 619 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(123,2) = HCF(248,123) = HCF(371,248) = HCF(619,371) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 372 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 372 and 1, to get
372 = 1 x 372 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 372 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(372,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 607 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 607 and 1, to get
607 = 1 x 607 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 607 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(607,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 371, 619, 372, 607?
Answer: HCF of 371, 619, 372, 607 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 371, 619, 372, 607 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 371, 619, 372, 607 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
