HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 651, 358, 506, 801 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 651, 358, 506, 801 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 651, 358, 506, 801 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 651, 358, 506, 801 is 1.
HCF(651, 358, 506, 801) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 651, 358, 506, 801 is 1.
Step 1: Since 651 > 358, we apply the division lemma to 651 and 358, to get
651 = 358 x 1 + 293
Step 2: Since the reminder 358 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 293 and 358, to get
358 = 293 x 1 + 65
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 293 and the new remainder 65, and apply the division lemma to get
293 = 65 x 4 + 33
We consider the new divisor 65 and the new remainder 33,and apply the division lemma to get
65 = 33 x 1 + 32
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 32,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 32 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 32 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma 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 651 and 358 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(32,1) = HCF(33,32) = HCF(65,33) = HCF(293,65) = HCF(358,293) = HCF(651,358) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 506 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 506 and 1, to get
506 = 1 x 506 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 506 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(506,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 801 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 801 and 1, to get
801 = 1 x 801 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 801 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(801,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 651, 358, 506, 801?
Answer: HCF of 651, 358, 506, 801 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 651, 358, 506, 801 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 651, 358, 506, 801 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
