HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 703, 329, 720, 909 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 703, 329, 720, 909 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 703, 329, 720, 909 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 703, 329, 720, 909 is 1.
HCF(703, 329, 720, 909) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 703, 329, 720, 909 is 1.
Step 1: Since 703 > 329, we apply the division lemma to 703 and 329, to get
703 = 329 x 2 + 45
Step 2: Since the reminder 329 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 45 and 329, to get
329 = 45 x 7 + 14
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 45 and the new remainder 14, and apply the division lemma to get
45 = 14 x 3 + 3
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 3 x 4 + 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 703 and 329 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(14,3) = HCF(45,14) = HCF(329,45) = HCF(703,329) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 720 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 720 and 1, to get
720 = 1 x 720 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 720 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(720,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 909 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 909 and 1, to get
909 = 1 x 909 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 909 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(909,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 703, 329, 720, 909?
Answer: HCF of 703, 329, 720, 909 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 703, 329, 720, 909 using Euclid's Algorithm?
