HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 612, 2504, 7067 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 612, 2504, 7067 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 612, 2504, 7067 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 612, 2504, 7067 is 1.
HCF(612, 2504, 7067) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 612, 2504, 7067 is 1.
Step 1: Since 2504 > 612, we apply the division lemma to 2504 and 612, to get
2504 = 612 x 4 + 56
Step 2: Since the reminder 612 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 56 and 612, to get
612 = 56 x 10 + 52
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 56 and the new remainder 52, and apply the division lemma to get
56 = 52 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 52 and the new remainder 4, and apply the division lemma to get
52 = 4 x 13 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 4, the HCF of 612 and 2504 is 4
Notice that 4 = HCF(52,4) = HCF(56,52) = HCF(612,56) = HCF(2504,612) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 7067 > 4, we apply the division lemma to 7067 and 4, to get
7067 = 4 x 1766 + 3
Step 2: Since the reminder 4 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 3 and 4, to get
4 = 3 x 1 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 4 and 7067 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(4,3) = HCF(7067,4) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 612, 2504, 7067?
Answer: HCF of 612, 2504, 7067 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 612, 2504, 7067 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 612, 2504, 7067 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
