HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 572, 217, 464 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 572, 217, 464 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 572, 217, 464 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 572, 217, 464 is 1.
HCF(572, 217, 464) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 572, 217, 464 is 1.
Step 1: Since 572 > 217, we apply the division lemma to 572 and 217, to get
572 = 217 x 2 + 138
Step 2: Since the reminder 217 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 138 and 217, to get
217 = 138 x 1 + 79
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 138 and the new remainder 79, and apply the division lemma to get
138 = 79 x 1 + 59
We consider the new divisor 79 and the new remainder 59,and apply the division lemma to get
79 = 59 x 1 + 20
We consider the new divisor 59 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
59 = 20 x 2 + 19
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 19 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 1 x 19 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 572 and 217 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(19,1) = HCF(20,19) = HCF(59,20) = HCF(79,59) = HCF(138,79) = HCF(217,138) = HCF(572,217) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 464 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 464 and 1, to get
464 = 1 x 464 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 464 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(464,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 572, 217, 464?
Answer: HCF of 572, 217, 464 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 572, 217, 464 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 572, 217, 464 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
