HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 737, 951, 332 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 737, 951, 332 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 737, 951, 332 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 737, 951, 332 is 1.
HCF(737, 951, 332) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 737, 951, 332 is 1.
Step 1: Since 951 > 737, we apply the division lemma to 951 and 737, to get
951 = 737 x 1 + 214
Step 2: Since the reminder 737 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 214 and 737, to get
737 = 214 x 3 + 95
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 214 and the new remainder 95, and apply the division lemma to get
214 = 95 x 2 + 24
We consider the new divisor 95 and the new remainder 24,and apply the division lemma to get
95 = 24 x 3 + 23
We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 23 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 1 x 23 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 737 and 951 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(23,1) = HCF(24,23) = HCF(95,24) = HCF(214,95) = HCF(737,214) = HCF(951,737) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 332 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 332 and 1, to get
332 = 1 x 332 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 332 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(332,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 737, 951, 332?
Answer: HCF of 737, 951, 332 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 737, 951, 332 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 737, 951, 332 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
