HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 771, 416, 792 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 771, 416, 792 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 771, 416, 792 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 771, 416, 792 is 1.
HCF(771, 416, 792) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 771, 416, 792 is 1.
Step 1: Since 771 > 416, we apply the division lemma to 771 and 416, to get
771 = 416 x 1 + 355
Step 2: Since the reminder 416 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 355 and 416, to get
416 = 355 x 1 + 61
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 355 and the new remainder 61, and apply the division lemma to get
355 = 61 x 5 + 50
We consider the new divisor 61 and the new remainder 50,and apply the division lemma to get
61 = 50 x 1 + 11
We consider the new divisor 50 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
50 = 11 x 4 + 6
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 6 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 5 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 1 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 771 and 416 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(5,1) = HCF(6,5) = HCF(11,6) = HCF(50,11) = HCF(61,50) = HCF(355,61) = HCF(416,355) = HCF(771,416) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 792 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 792 and 1, to get
792 = 1 x 792 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 792 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(792,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 771, 416, 792?
Answer: HCF of 771, 416, 792 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 771, 416, 792 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 771, 416, 792 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
