HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 694, 9623 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 694, 9623 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, 9623 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, 9623 is 1.
HCF(694, 9623) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 694, 9623 is 1.
Step 1: Since 9623 > 694, we apply the division lemma to 9623 and 694, to get
9623 = 694 x 13 + 601
Step 2: Since the reminder 694 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 601 and 694, to get
694 = 601 x 1 + 93
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 601 and the new remainder 93, and apply the division lemma to get
601 = 93 x 6 + 43
We consider the new divisor 93 and the new remainder 43,and apply the division lemma to get
93 = 43 x 2 + 7
We consider the new divisor 43 and the new remainder 7,and apply the division lemma to get
43 = 7 x 6 + 1
We consider the new divisor 7 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
7 = 1 x 7 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 694 and 9623 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(7,1) = HCF(43,7) = HCF(93,43) = HCF(601,93) = HCF(694,601) = HCF(9623,694) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 694, 9623?
Answer: HCF of 694, 9623 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 694, 9623 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 694, 9623 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
