HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 702, 505, 663 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 702, 505, 663 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 702, 505, 663 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 702, 505, 663 is 1.
HCF(702, 505, 663) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 702, 505, 663 is 1.
Step 1: Since 702 > 505, we apply the division lemma to 702 and 505, to get
702 = 505 x 1 + 197
Step 2: Since the reminder 505 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 197 and 505, to get
505 = 197 x 2 + 111
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 197 and the new remainder 111, and apply the division lemma to get
197 = 111 x 1 + 86
We consider the new divisor 111 and the new remainder 86,and apply the division lemma to get
111 = 86 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 86 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
86 = 25 x 3 + 11
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 11 x 2 + 3
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 3 x 3 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 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 702 and 505 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(11,3) = HCF(25,11) = HCF(86,25) = HCF(111,86) = HCF(197,111) = HCF(505,197) = HCF(702,505) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 663 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 663 and 1, to get
663 = 1 x 663 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 663 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(663,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 702, 505, 663?
Answer: HCF of 702, 505, 663 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 702, 505, 663 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 702, 505, 663 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
