HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 380, 671, 110 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 380, 671, 110 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 380, 671, 110 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 380, 671, 110 is 1.
HCF(380, 671, 110) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 380, 671, 110 is 1.
Step 1: Since 671 > 380, we apply the division lemma to 671 and 380, to get
671 = 380 x 1 + 291
Step 2: Since the reminder 380 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 291 and 380, to get
380 = 291 x 1 + 89
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 291 and the new remainder 89, and apply the division lemma to get
291 = 89 x 3 + 24
We consider the new divisor 89 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
89 = 24 x 3 + 17
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 17 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 7 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 3 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 380 and 671 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(7,3) = HCF(17,7) = HCF(24,17) = HCF(89,24) = HCF(291,89) = HCF(380,291) = HCF(671,380) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 110 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 110 and 1, to get
110 = 1 x 110 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 110 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(110,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 380, 671, 110?
Answer: HCF of 380, 671, 110 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 380, 671, 110 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 380, 671, 110 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
