HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 665, 4551 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 665, 4551 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 665, 4551 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 665, 4551 is 1.
HCF(665, 4551) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 665, 4551 is 1.
Step 1: Since 4551 > 665, we apply the division lemma to 4551 and 665, to get
4551 = 665 x 6 + 561
Step 2: Since the reminder 665 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 561 and 665, to get
665 = 561 x 1 + 104
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 561 and the new remainder 104, and apply the division lemma to get
561 = 104 x 5 + 41
We consider the new divisor 104 and the new remainder 41,and apply the division lemma to get
104 = 41 x 2 + 22
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 22 x 1 + 19
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 19,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 19 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 3 x 6 + 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 665 and 4551 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(19,3) = HCF(22,19) = HCF(41,22) = HCF(104,41) = HCF(561,104) = HCF(665,561) = HCF(4551,665) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 665, 4551?
Answer: HCF of 665, 4551 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 665, 4551 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 665, 4551 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
