HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 467, 867, 62, 534 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 467, 867, 62, 534 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 467, 867, 62, 534 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 467, 867, 62, 534 is 1.
HCF(467, 867, 62, 534) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 467, 867, 62, 534 is 1.
Step 1: Since 867 > 467, we apply the division lemma to 867 and 467, to get
867 = 467 x 1 + 400
Step 2: Since the reminder 467 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 400 and 467, to get
467 = 400 x 1 + 67
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 400 and the new remainder 67, and apply the division lemma to get
400 = 67 x 5 + 65
We consider the new divisor 67 and the new remainder 65,and apply the division lemma to get
67 = 65 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 65 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
65 = 2 x 32 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 467 and 867 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(65,2) = HCF(67,65) = HCF(400,67) = HCF(467,400) = HCF(867,467) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 62 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 62 and 1, to get
62 = 1 x 62 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 62 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(62,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 534 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 534 and 1, to get
534 = 1 x 534 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 534 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(534,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 467, 867, 62, 534?
Answer: HCF of 467, 867, 62, 534 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 467, 867, 62, 534 using Euclid's Algorithm?
