HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 471, 295, 224 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 471, 295, 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 471, 295, 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 471, 295, 224 is 1.
HCF(471, 295, 224) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 471, 295, 224 is 1.
Step 1: Since 471 > 295, we apply the division lemma to 471 and 295, to get
471 = 295 x 1 + 176
Step 2: Since the reminder 295 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 176 and 295, to get
295 = 176 x 1 + 119
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 176 and the new remainder 119, and apply the division lemma to get
176 = 119 x 1 + 57
We consider the new divisor 119 and the new remainder 57,and apply the division lemma to get
119 = 57 x 2 + 5
We consider the new divisor 57 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
57 = 5 x 11 + 2
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 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 471 and 295 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(57,5) = HCF(119,57) = HCF(176,119) = HCF(295,176) = HCF(471,295) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 224 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 224 and 1, to get
224 = 1 x 224 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 224 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(224,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 471, 295, 224?
Answer: HCF of 471, 295, 224 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 471, 295, 224 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 471, 295, 224 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
