HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 441, 317, 482 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 441, 317, 482 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 441, 317, 482 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 441, 317, 482 is 1.
HCF(441, 317, 482) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 441, 317, 482 is 1.
Step 1: Since 441 > 317, we apply the division lemma to 441 and 317, to get
441 = 317 x 1 + 124
Step 2: Since the reminder 317 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 124 and 317, to get
317 = 124 x 2 + 69
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 124 and the new remainder 69, and apply the division lemma to get
124 = 69 x 1 + 55
We consider the new divisor 69 and the new remainder 55,and apply the division lemma to get
69 = 55 x 1 + 14
We consider the new divisor 55 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
55 = 14 x 3 + 13
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 13 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 1 x 13 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 441 and 317 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(13,1) = HCF(14,13) = HCF(55,14) = HCF(69,55) = HCF(124,69) = HCF(317,124) = HCF(441,317) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 482 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 482 and 1, to get
482 = 1 x 482 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 482 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(482,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 441, 317, 482?
Answer: HCF of 441, 317, 482 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 441, 317, 482 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 441, 317, 482 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
