HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 610, 2432, 1699 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 610, 2432, 1699 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 610, 2432, 1699 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 610, 2432, 1699 is 1.
HCF(610, 2432, 1699) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 610, 2432, 1699 is 1.
Step 1: Since 2432 > 610, we apply the division lemma to 2432 and 610, to get
2432 = 610 x 3 + 602
Step 2: Since the reminder 610 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 602 and 610, to get
610 = 602 x 1 + 8
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 602 and the new remainder 8, and apply the division lemma to get
602 = 8 x 75 + 2
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 2, and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 2 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 610 and 2432 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(8,2) = HCF(602,8) = HCF(610,602) = HCF(2432,610) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 1699 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 1699 and 2, to get
1699 = 2 x 849 + 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 1699 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(1699,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 610, 2432, 1699?
Answer: HCF of 610, 2432, 1699 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 610, 2432, 1699 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 610, 2432, 1699 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
