HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 759, 637, 755 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 759, 637, 755 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 759, 637, 755 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 759, 637, 755 is 1.
HCF(759, 637, 755) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 759, 637, 755 is 1.
Step 1: Since 759 > 637, we apply the division lemma to 759 and 637, to get
759 = 637 x 1 + 122
Step 2: Since the reminder 637 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 122 and 637, to get
637 = 122 x 5 + 27
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 122 and the new remainder 27, and apply the division lemma to get
122 = 27 x 4 + 14
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 14 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 13 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 1 x 13 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 759 and 637 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(13,1) = HCF(14,13) = HCF(27,14) = HCF(122,27) = HCF(637,122) = HCF(759,637) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 755 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 755 and 1, to get
755 = 1 x 755 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 755 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(755,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 759, 637, 755?
Answer: HCF of 759, 637, 755 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 759, 637, 755 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 759, 637, 755 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
