HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 613, 792, 626 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 613, 792, 626 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 613, 792, 626 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 613, 792, 626 is 1.
HCF(613, 792, 626) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 613, 792, 626 is 1.
Step 1: Since 792 > 613, we apply the division lemma to 792 and 613, to get
792 = 613 x 1 + 179
Step 2: Since the reminder 613 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 179 and 613, to get
613 = 179 x 3 + 76
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 179 and the new remainder 76, and apply the division lemma to get
179 = 76 x 2 + 27
We consider the new divisor 76 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
76 = 27 x 2 + 22
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 22 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 5 x 4 + 2
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma 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 613 and 792 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(22,5) = HCF(27,22) = HCF(76,27) = HCF(179,76) = HCF(613,179) = HCF(792,613) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 626 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 626 and 1, to get
626 = 1 x 626 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 626 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(626,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 613, 792, 626?
Answer: HCF of 613, 792, 626 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 613, 792, 626 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 613, 792, 626 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
