HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 571, 484, 484 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 571, 484, 484 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 571, 484, 484 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 571, 484, 484 is 1.
HCF(571, 484, 484) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 571, 484, 484 is 1.
Step 1: Since 571 > 484, we apply the division lemma to 571 and 484, to get
571 = 484 x 1 + 87
Step 2: Since the reminder 484 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 87 and 484, to get
484 = 87 x 5 + 49
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 87 and the new remainder 49, and apply the division lemma to get
87 = 49 x 1 + 38
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 38,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 38 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 38 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
38 = 11 x 3 + 5
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 5 x 2 + 1
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 571 and 484 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(11,5) = HCF(38,11) = HCF(49,38) = HCF(87,49) = HCF(484,87) = HCF(571,484) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 484 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 484 and 1, to get
484 = 1 x 484 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 484 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(484,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 571, 484, 484?
Answer: HCF of 571, 484, 484 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 571, 484, 484 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 571, 484, 484 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
