HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 626, 931, 33, 707 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 626, 931, 33, 707 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 626, 931, 33, 707 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 626, 931, 33, 707 is 1.
HCF(626, 931, 33, 707) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 626, 931, 33, 707 is 1.
Step 1: Since 931 > 626, we apply the division lemma to 931 and 626, to get
931 = 626 x 1 + 305
Step 2: Since the reminder 626 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 305 and 626, to get
626 = 305 x 2 + 16
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 305 and the new remainder 16, and apply the division lemma to get
305 = 16 x 19 + 1
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 1 x 16 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 626 and 931 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(16,1) = HCF(305,16) = HCF(626,305) = HCF(931,626) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 33 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 33 and 1, to get
33 = 1 x 33 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 33 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(33,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 707 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 707 and 1, to get
707 = 1 x 707 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 707 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(707,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 626, 931, 33, 707?
Answer: HCF of 626, 931, 33, 707 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 626, 931, 33, 707 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 626, 931, 33, 707 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
