HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 373, 964, 195 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 373, 964, 195 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 373, 964, 195 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 373, 964, 195 is 1.
HCF(373, 964, 195) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 373, 964, 195 is 1.
Step 1: Since 964 > 373, we apply the division lemma to 964 and 373, to get
964 = 373 x 2 + 218
Step 2: Since the reminder 373 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 218 and 373, to get
373 = 218 x 1 + 155
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 218 and the new remainder 155, and apply the division lemma to get
218 = 155 x 1 + 63
We consider the new divisor 155 and the new remainder 63,and apply the division lemma to get
155 = 63 x 2 + 29
We consider the new divisor 63 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
63 = 29 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 5 x 5 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 373 and 964 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(29,5) = HCF(63,29) = HCF(155,63) = HCF(218,155) = HCF(373,218) = HCF(964,373) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 195 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 195 and 1, to get
195 = 1 x 195 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 195 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(195,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 373, 964, 195?
Answer: HCF of 373, 964, 195 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 373, 964, 195 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 373, 964, 195 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
