HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 729, 619, 367 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 729, 619, 367 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 729, 619, 367 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 729, 619, 367 is 1.
HCF(729, 619, 367) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 729, 619, 367 is 1.
Step 1: Since 729 > 619, we apply the division lemma to 729 and 619, to get
729 = 619 x 1 + 110
Step 2: Since the reminder 619 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 110 and 619, to get
619 = 110 x 5 + 69
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 110 and the new remainder 69, and apply the division lemma to get
110 = 69 x 1 + 41
We consider the new divisor 69 and the new remainder 41,and apply the division lemma to get
69 = 41 x 1 + 28
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 28,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 28 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 28 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
28 = 13 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 2 x 6 + 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 729 and 619 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(13,2) = HCF(28,13) = HCF(41,28) = HCF(69,41) = HCF(110,69) = HCF(619,110) = HCF(729,619) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 367 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 367 and 1, to get
367 = 1 x 367 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 367 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(367,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 729, 619, 367?
Answer: HCF of 729, 619, 367 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 729, 619, 367 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 729, 619, 367 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
