HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 570, 336, 689 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 570, 336, 689 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 570, 336, 689 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 570, 336, 689 is 1.
HCF(570, 336, 689) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 570, 336, 689 is 1.
Step 1: Since 570 > 336, we apply the division lemma to 570 and 336, to get
570 = 336 x 1 + 234
Step 2: Since the reminder 336 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 234 and 336, to get
336 = 234 x 1 + 102
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 234 and the new remainder 102, and apply the division lemma to get
234 = 102 x 2 + 30
We consider the new divisor 102 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
102 = 30 x 3 + 12
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 12 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 6 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 6, the HCF of 570 and 336 is 6
Notice that 6 = HCF(12,6) = HCF(30,12) = HCF(102,30) = HCF(234,102) = HCF(336,234) = HCF(570,336) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 689 > 6, we apply the division lemma to 689 and 6, to get
689 = 6 x 114 + 5
Step 2: Since the reminder 6 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 5 and 6, to get
6 = 5 x 1 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6 and 689 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(6,5) = HCF(689,6) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 570, 336, 689?
Answer: HCF of 570, 336, 689 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 570, 336, 689 using Euclid's Algorithm?
