HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 699, 461, 688 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 699, 461, 688 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 699, 461, 688 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 699, 461, 688 is 1.
HCF(699, 461, 688) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 699, 461, 688 is 1.
Step 1: Since 699 > 461, we apply the division lemma to 699 and 461, to get
699 = 461 x 1 + 238
Step 2: Since the reminder 461 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 238 and 461, to get
461 = 238 x 1 + 223
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 238 and the new remainder 223, and apply the division lemma to get
238 = 223 x 1 + 15
We consider the new divisor 223 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
223 = 15 x 14 + 13
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 13 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 2 x 6 + 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 699 and 461 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(13,2) = HCF(15,13) = HCF(223,15) = HCF(238,223) = HCF(461,238) = HCF(699,461) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 688 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 688 and 1, to get
688 = 1 x 688 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 688 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(688,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 699, 461, 688?
Answer: HCF of 699, 461, 688 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 699, 461, 688 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 699, 461, 688 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
