HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 750, 483, 383 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 750, 483, 383 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 750, 483, 383 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 750, 483, 383 is 1.
HCF(750, 483, 383) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 750, 483, 383 is 1.
Step 1: Since 750 > 483, we apply the division lemma to 750 and 483, to get
750 = 483 x 1 + 267
Step 2: Since the reminder 483 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 267 and 483, to get
483 = 267 x 1 + 216
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 267 and the new remainder 216, and apply the division lemma to get
267 = 216 x 1 + 51
We consider the new divisor 216 and the new remainder 51,and apply the division lemma to get
216 = 51 x 4 + 12
We consider the new divisor 51 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
51 = 12 x 4 + 3
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 3 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 750 and 483 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(12,3) = HCF(51,12) = HCF(216,51) = HCF(267,216) = HCF(483,267) = HCF(750,483) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 383 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 383 and 3, to get
383 = 3 x 127 + 2
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 2 and 3, to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
Step 3: 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 3 and 383 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(383,3) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 750, 483, 383?
Answer: HCF of 750, 483, 383 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 750, 483, 383 using Euclid's Algorithm?
