HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 614, 347, 510 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 614, 347, 510 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 614, 347, 510 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 614, 347, 510 is 1.
HCF(614, 347, 510) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 614, 347, 510 is 1.
Step 1: Since 614 > 347, we apply the division lemma to 614 and 347, to get
614 = 347 x 1 + 267
Step 2: Since the reminder 347 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 267 and 347, to get
347 = 267 x 1 + 80
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 267 and the new remainder 80, and apply the division lemma to get
267 = 80 x 3 + 27
We consider the new divisor 80 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
80 = 27 x 2 + 26
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 26,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 26 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 26 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
26 = 1 x 26 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 614 and 347 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(26,1) = HCF(27,26) = HCF(80,27) = HCF(267,80) = HCF(347,267) = HCF(614,347) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 510 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 510 and 1, to get
510 = 1 x 510 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 510 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(510,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 614, 347, 510?
Answer: HCF of 614, 347, 510 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 614, 347, 510 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 614, 347, 510 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
