HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 527, 713, 190 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 527, 713, 190 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 527, 713, 190 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 527, 713, 190 is 1.
HCF(527, 713, 190) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 527, 713, 190 is 1.
Step 1: Since 713 > 527, we apply the division lemma to 713 and 527, to get
713 = 527 x 1 + 186
Step 2: Since the reminder 527 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 186 and 527, to get
527 = 186 x 2 + 155
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 186 and the new remainder 155, and apply the division lemma to get
186 = 155 x 1 + 31
We consider the new divisor 155 and the new remainder 31, and apply the division lemma to get
155 = 31 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 31, the HCF of 527 and 713 is 31
Notice that 31 = HCF(155,31) = HCF(186,155) = HCF(527,186) = HCF(713,527) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 190 > 31, we apply the division lemma to 190 and 31, to get
190 = 31 x 6 + 4
Step 2: Since the reminder 31 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 4 and 31, to get
31 = 4 x 7 + 3
Step 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 31 and 190 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(31,4) = HCF(190,31) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 527, 713, 190?
Answer: HCF of 527, 713, 190 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 527, 713, 190 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 527, 713, 190 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
