HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 456, 575, 484 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 456, 575, 484 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 456, 575, 484 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 456, 575, 484 is 1.
HCF(456, 575, 484) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 456, 575, 484 is 1.
Step 1: Since 575 > 456, we apply the division lemma to 575 and 456, to get
575 = 456 x 1 + 119
Step 2: Since the reminder 456 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 119 and 456, to get
456 = 119 x 3 + 99
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 119 and the new remainder 99, and apply the division lemma to get
119 = 99 x 1 + 20
We consider the new divisor 99 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
99 = 20 x 4 + 19
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 19 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 1 x 19 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 456 and 575 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(19,1) = HCF(20,19) = HCF(99,20) = HCF(119,99) = HCF(456,119) = HCF(575,456) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 484 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 484 and 1, to get
484 = 1 x 484 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 484 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(484,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 456, 575, 484?
Answer: HCF of 456, 575, 484 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 456, 575, 484 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 456, 575, 484 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
