HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 595, 942, 248 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 595, 942, 248 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 595, 942, 248 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 595, 942, 248 is 1.
HCF(595, 942, 248) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 595, 942, 248 is 1.
Step 1: Since 942 > 595, we apply the division lemma to 942 and 595, to get
942 = 595 x 1 + 347
Step 2: Since the reminder 595 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 347 and 595, to get
595 = 347 x 1 + 248
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 347 and the new remainder 248, and apply the division lemma to get
347 = 248 x 1 + 99
We consider the new divisor 248 and the new remainder 99,and apply the division lemma to get
248 = 99 x 2 + 50
We consider the new divisor 99 and the new remainder 50,and apply the division lemma to get
99 = 50 x 1 + 49
We consider the new divisor 50 and the new remainder 49,and apply the division lemma to get
50 = 49 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 1 x 49 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 595 and 942 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(49,1) = HCF(50,49) = HCF(99,50) = HCF(248,99) = HCF(347,248) = HCF(595,347) = HCF(942,595) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 248 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 248 and 1, to get
248 = 1 x 248 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 248 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(248,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 595, 942, 248?
Answer: HCF of 595, 942, 248 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 595, 942, 248 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 595, 942, 248 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
