HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 575, 964, 347 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 575, 964, 347 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 575, 964, 347 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 575, 964, 347 is 1.
HCF(575, 964, 347) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 575, 964, 347 is 1.
Step 1: Since 964 > 575, we apply the division lemma to 964 and 575, to get
964 = 575 x 1 + 389
Step 2: Since the reminder 575 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 389 and 575, to get
575 = 389 x 1 + 186
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 389 and the new remainder 186, and apply the division lemma to get
389 = 186 x 2 + 17
We consider the new divisor 186 and the new remainder 17,and apply the division lemma to get
186 = 17 x 10 + 16
We consider the new divisor 17 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
17 = 16 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 1 x 16 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 575 and 964 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(16,1) = HCF(17,16) = HCF(186,17) = HCF(389,186) = HCF(575,389) = HCF(964,575) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 347 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 347 and 1, to get
347 = 1 x 347 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 347 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(347,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 575, 964, 347?
Answer: HCF of 575, 964, 347 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 575, 964, 347 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 575, 964, 347 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
