HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 580, 794, 955 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 580, 794, 955 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 580, 794, 955 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 580, 794, 955 is 1.
HCF(580, 794, 955) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 580, 794, 955 is 1.
Step 1: Since 794 > 580, we apply the division lemma to 794 and 580, to get
794 = 580 x 1 + 214
Step 2: Since the reminder 580 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 214 and 580, to get
580 = 214 x 2 + 152
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 214 and the new remainder 152, and apply the division lemma to get
214 = 152 x 1 + 62
We consider the new divisor 152 and the new remainder 62,and apply the division lemma to get
152 = 62 x 2 + 28
We consider the new divisor 62 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
62 = 28 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 6 x 4 + 4
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 4 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 580 and 794 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(6,4) = HCF(28,6) = HCF(62,28) = HCF(152,62) = HCF(214,152) = HCF(580,214) = HCF(794,580) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 955 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 955 and 2, to get
955 = 2 x 477 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2 and 955 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(955,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 580, 794, 955?
Answer: HCF of 580, 794, 955 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 580, 794, 955 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 580, 794, 955 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
