HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 645, 772, 32, 553 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 645, 772, 32, 553 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 645, 772, 32, 553 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 645, 772, 32, 553 is 1.
HCF(645, 772, 32, 553) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 645, 772, 32, 553 is 1.
Step 1: Since 772 > 645, we apply the division lemma to 772 and 645, to get
772 = 645 x 1 + 127
Step 2: Since the reminder 645 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 127 and 645, to get
645 = 127 x 5 + 10
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 127 and the new remainder 10, and apply the division lemma to get
127 = 10 x 12 + 7
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 7 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 3 x 2 + 1
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 645 and 772 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(7,3) = HCF(10,7) = HCF(127,10) = HCF(645,127) = HCF(772,645) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 32 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 32 and 1, to get
32 = 1 x 32 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 32 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(32,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 553 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 553 and 1, to get
553 = 1 x 553 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 553 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(553,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 645, 772, 32, 553?
Answer: HCF of 645, 772, 32, 553 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 645, 772, 32, 553 using Euclid's Algorithm?
