HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 762, 599, 623, 701 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 762, 599, 623, 701 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 762, 599, 623, 701 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 762, 599, 623, 701 is 1.
HCF(762, 599, 623, 701) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 762, 599, 623, 701 is 1.
Step 1: Since 762 > 599, we apply the division lemma to 762 and 599, to get
762 = 599 x 1 + 163
Step 2: Since the reminder 599 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 163 and 599, to get
599 = 163 x 3 + 110
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 163 and the new remainder 110, and apply the division lemma to get
163 = 110 x 1 + 53
We consider the new divisor 110 and the new remainder 53,and apply the division lemma to get
110 = 53 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 53 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
53 = 4 x 13 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 762 and 599 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(53,4) = HCF(110,53) = HCF(163,110) = HCF(599,163) = HCF(762,599) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 623 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 623 and 1, to get
623 = 1 x 623 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 623 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(623,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 701 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 701 and 1, to get
701 = 1 x 701 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 701 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(701,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 762, 599, 623, 701?
Answer: HCF of 762, 599, 623, 701 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 762, 599, 623, 701 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 762, 599, 623, 701 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
