HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 70, 14, 84, 574 i.e. 14 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 70, 14, 84, 574 is 14 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 70, 14, 84, 574 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 70, 14, 84, 574 is 14.
HCF(70, 14, 84, 574) = 14
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 70, 14, 84, 574 is 14.
Step 1: Since 70 > 14, we apply the division lemma to 70 and 14, to get
70 = 14 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 14, the HCF of 70 and 14 is 14
Notice that 14 = HCF(70,14) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 84 > 14, we apply the division lemma to 84 and 14, to get
84 = 14 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 14, the HCF of 14 and 84 is 14
Notice that 14 = HCF(84,14) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 574 > 14, we apply the division lemma to 574 and 14, to get
574 = 14 x 41 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 14, the HCF of 14 and 574 is 14
Notice that 14 = HCF(574,14) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 70, 14, 84, 574?
Answer: HCF of 70, 14, 84, 574 is 14 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 70, 14, 84, 574 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 70, 14, 84, 574 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
