HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 695, 476, 146 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 695, 476, 146 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 695, 476, 146 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 695, 476, 146 is 1.
HCF(695, 476, 146) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 695, 476, 146 is 1.
Step 1: Since 695 > 476, we apply the division lemma to 695 and 476, to get
695 = 476 x 1 + 219
Step 2: Since the reminder 476 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 219 and 476, to get
476 = 219 x 2 + 38
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 219 and the new remainder 38, and apply the division lemma to get
219 = 38 x 5 + 29
We consider the new divisor 38 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
38 = 29 x 1 + 9
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 9 x 3 + 2
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 2 x 4 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 695 and 476 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(9,2) = HCF(29,9) = HCF(38,29) = HCF(219,38) = HCF(476,219) = HCF(695,476) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 146 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 146 and 1, to get
146 = 1 x 146 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 146 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(146,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 695, 476, 146?
Answer: HCF of 695, 476, 146 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 695, 476, 146 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 695, 476, 146 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
