HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 544, 933, 275 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 544, 933, 275 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 544, 933, 275 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 544, 933, 275 is 1.
HCF(544, 933, 275) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 544, 933, 275 is 1.
Step 1: Since 933 > 544, we apply the division lemma to 933 and 544, to get
933 = 544 x 1 + 389
Step 2: Since the reminder 544 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 389 and 544, to get
544 = 389 x 1 + 155
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 389 and the new remainder 155, and apply the division lemma to get
389 = 155 x 2 + 79
We consider the new divisor 155 and the new remainder 79,and apply the division lemma to get
155 = 79 x 1 + 76
We consider the new divisor 79 and the new remainder 76,and apply the division lemma to get
79 = 76 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 76 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
76 = 3 x 25 + 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 544 and 933 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(76,3) = HCF(79,76) = HCF(155,79) = HCF(389,155) = HCF(544,389) = HCF(933,544) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 275 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 275 and 1, to get
275 = 1 x 275 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 275 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(275,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 544, 933, 275?
Answer: HCF of 544, 933, 275 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 544, 933, 275 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 544, 933, 275 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
