HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 382, 251, 93 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 382, 251, 93 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 382, 251, 93 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 382, 251, 93 is 1.
HCF(382, 251, 93) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 382, 251, 93 is 1.
Step 1: Since 382 > 251, we apply the division lemma to 382 and 251, to get
382 = 251 x 1 + 131
Step 2: Since the reminder 251 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 131 and 251, to get
251 = 131 x 1 + 120
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 131 and the new remainder 120, and apply the division lemma to get
131 = 120 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 120 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
120 = 11 x 10 + 10
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 10 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 1 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 382 and 251 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(11,10) = HCF(120,11) = HCF(131,120) = HCF(251,131) = HCF(382,251) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 93 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 93 and 1, to get
93 = 1 x 93 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 93 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(93,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 382, 251, 93?
Answer: HCF of 382, 251, 93 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 382, 251, 93 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 382, 251, 93 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
