HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 567, 7480, 4883 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 567, 7480, 4883 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 567, 7480, 4883 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 567, 7480, 4883 is 1.
HCF(567, 7480, 4883) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 567, 7480, 4883 is 1.
Step 1: Since 7480 > 567, we apply the division lemma to 7480 and 567, to get
7480 = 567 x 13 + 109
Step 2: Since the reminder 567 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 109 and 567, to get
567 = 109 x 5 + 22
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 109 and the new remainder 22, and apply the division lemma to get
109 = 22 x 4 + 21
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 21,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 21 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 1 x 21 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 567 and 7480 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(21,1) = HCF(22,21) = HCF(109,22) = HCF(567,109) = HCF(7480,567) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 4883 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 4883 and 1, to get
4883 = 1 x 4883 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 4883 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4883,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 567, 7480, 4883?
Answer: HCF of 567, 7480, 4883 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 567, 7480, 4883 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 567, 7480, 4883 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
