HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 707, 450, 657, 296 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 707, 450, 657, 296 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 707, 450, 657, 296 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 707, 450, 657, 296 is 1.
HCF(707, 450, 657, 296) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 707, 450, 657, 296 is 1.
Step 1: Since 707 > 450, we apply the division lemma to 707 and 450, to get
707 = 450 x 1 + 257
Step 2: Since the reminder 450 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 257 and 450, to get
450 = 257 x 1 + 193
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 257 and the new remainder 193, and apply the division lemma to get
257 = 193 x 1 + 64
We consider the new divisor 193 and the new remainder 64,and apply the division lemma to get
193 = 64 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 64 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
64 = 1 x 64 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 707 and 450 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(64,1) = HCF(193,64) = HCF(257,193) = HCF(450,257) = HCF(707,450) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 657 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 657 and 1, to get
657 = 1 x 657 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 657 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(657,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 296 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 296 and 1, to get
296 = 1 x 296 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 296 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(296,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 707, 450, 657, 296?
Answer: HCF of 707, 450, 657, 296 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 707, 450, 657, 296 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 707, 450, 657, 296 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
