HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 710, 373, 347 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 710, 373, 347 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 710, 373, 347 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 710, 373, 347 is 1.
HCF(710, 373, 347) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 710, 373, 347 is 1.
Step 1: Since 710 > 373, we apply the division lemma to 710 and 373, to get
710 = 373 x 1 + 337
Step 2: Since the reminder 373 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 337 and 373, to get
373 = 337 x 1 + 36
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 337 and the new remainder 36, and apply the division lemma to get
337 = 36 x 9 + 13
We consider the new divisor 36 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
36 = 13 x 2 + 10
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 10 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 3 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 710 and 373 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(10,3) = HCF(13,10) = HCF(36,13) = HCF(337,36) = HCF(373,337) = HCF(710,373) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 347 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 347 and 1, to get
347 = 1 x 347 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 347 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(347,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 710, 373, 347?
Answer: HCF of 710, 373, 347 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 710, 373, 347 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 710, 373, 347 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
