HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 530, 759, 526 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 530, 759, 526 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 530, 759, 526 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 530, 759, 526 is 1.
HCF(530, 759, 526) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 530, 759, 526 is 1.
Step 1: Since 759 > 530, we apply the division lemma to 759 and 530, to get
759 = 530 x 1 + 229
Step 2: Since the reminder 530 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 229 and 530, to get
530 = 229 x 2 + 72
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 229 and the new remainder 72, and apply the division lemma to get
229 = 72 x 3 + 13
We consider the new divisor 72 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
72 = 13 x 5 + 7
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 7 x 1 + 6
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 6 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 530 and 759 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(7,6) = HCF(13,7) = HCF(72,13) = HCF(229,72) = HCF(530,229) = HCF(759,530) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 526 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 526 and 1, to get
526 = 1 x 526 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 526 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(526,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 530, 759, 526?
Answer: HCF of 530, 759, 526 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 530, 759, 526 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 530, 759, 526 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
