HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 694, 511, 345, 866 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 694, 511, 345, 866 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 694, 511, 345, 866 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 694, 511, 345, 866 is 1.
HCF(694, 511, 345, 866) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 694, 511, 345, 866 is 1.
Step 1: Since 694 > 511, we apply the division lemma to 694 and 511, to get
694 = 511 x 1 + 183
Step 2: Since the reminder 511 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 183 and 511, to get
511 = 183 x 2 + 145
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 183 and the new remainder 145, and apply the division lemma to get
183 = 145 x 1 + 38
We consider the new divisor 145 and the new remainder 38,and apply the division lemma to get
145 = 38 x 3 + 31
We consider the new divisor 38 and the new remainder 31,and apply the division lemma to get
38 = 31 x 1 + 7
We consider the new divisor 31 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
31 = 7 x 4 + 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 694 and 511 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(7,3) = HCF(31,7) = HCF(38,31) = HCF(145,38) = HCF(183,145) = HCF(511,183) = HCF(694,511) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 345 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 345 and 1, to get
345 = 1 x 345 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 345 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(345,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 866 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 866 and 1, to get
866 = 1 x 866 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 866 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(866,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 694, 511, 345, 866?
Answer: HCF of 694, 511, 345, 866 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 694, 511, 345, 866 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 694, 511, 345, 866 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
