HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 393, 224 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 393, 224 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 393, 224 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 393, 224 is 1.
HCF(393, 224) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 393, 224 is 1.
Step 1: Since 393 > 224, we apply the division lemma to 393 and 224, to get
393 = 224 x 1 + 169
Step 2: Since the reminder 224 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 169 and 224, to get
224 = 169 x 1 + 55
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 169 and the new remainder 55, and apply the division lemma to get
169 = 55 x 3 + 4
We consider the new divisor 55 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
55 = 4 x 13 + 3
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 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 393 and 224 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(55,4) = HCF(169,55) = HCF(224,169) = HCF(393,224) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 393, 224?
Answer: HCF of 393, 224 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 393, 224 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 393, 224 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
