HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 72, 911, 263, 510 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 72, 911, 263, 510 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 72, 911, 263, 510 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 72, 911, 263, 510 is 1.
HCF(72, 911, 263, 510) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 72, 911, 263, 510 is 1.
Step 1: Since 911 > 72, we apply the division lemma to 911 and 72, to get
911 = 72 x 12 + 47
Step 2: Since the reminder 72 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 47 and 72, to get
72 = 47 x 1 + 25
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 47 and the new remainder 25, and apply the division lemma to get
47 = 25 x 1 + 22
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 22,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 22 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 22 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
22 = 3 x 7 + 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 72 and 911 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(22,3) = HCF(25,22) = HCF(47,25) = HCF(72,47) = HCF(911,72) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 263 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 263 and 1, to get
263 = 1 x 263 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 263 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(263,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 510 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 510 and 1, to get
510 = 1 x 510 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 510 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(510,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 72, 911, 263, 510?
Answer: HCF of 72, 911, 263, 510 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 72, 911, 263, 510 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 72, 911, 263, 510 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
