HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 529, 1482 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 529, 1482 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 529, 1482 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 529, 1482 is 1.
HCF(529, 1482) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 529, 1482 is 1.
Step 1: Since 1482 > 529, we apply the division lemma to 1482 and 529, to get
1482 = 529 x 2 + 424
Step 2: Since the reminder 529 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 424 and 529, to get
529 = 424 x 1 + 105
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 424 and the new remainder 105, and apply the division lemma to get
424 = 105 x 4 + 4
We consider the new divisor 105 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
105 = 4 x 26 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 529 and 1482 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(105,4) = HCF(424,105) = HCF(529,424) = HCF(1482,529) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 529, 1482?
Answer: HCF of 529, 1482 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 529, 1482 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 529, 1482 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
