HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 622, 580, 217, 693 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 622, 580, 217, 693 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 622, 580, 217, 693 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 622, 580, 217, 693 is 1.
HCF(622, 580, 217, 693) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 622, 580, 217, 693 is 1.
Step 1: Since 622 > 580, we apply the division lemma to 622 and 580, to get
622 = 580 x 1 + 42
Step 2: Since the reminder 580 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 42 and 580, to get
580 = 42 x 13 + 34
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 42 and the new remainder 34, and apply the division lemma to get
42 = 34 x 1 + 8
We consider the new divisor 34 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
34 = 8 x 4 + 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 622 and 580 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(8,2) = HCF(34,8) = HCF(42,34) = HCF(580,42) = HCF(622,580) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 217 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 217 and 2, to get
217 = 2 x 108 + 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 217 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(217,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 693 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 693 and 1, to get
693 = 1 x 693 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 693 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(693,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 622, 580, 217, 693?
Answer: HCF of 622, 580, 217, 693 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 622, 580, 217, 693 using Euclid's Algorithm?
