HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 801, 935, 93 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 801, 935, 93 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 801, 935, 93 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 801, 935, 93 is 1.
HCF(801, 935, 93) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 801, 935, 93 is 1.
Step 1: Since 935 > 801, we apply the division lemma to 935 and 801, to get
935 = 801 x 1 + 134
Step 2: Since the reminder 801 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 134 and 801, to get
801 = 134 x 5 + 131
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 134 and the new remainder 131, and apply the division lemma to get
134 = 131 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 131 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
131 = 3 x 43 + 2
We consider the new divisor 3 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
3 = 2 x 1 + 1
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 801 and 935 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(3,2) = HCF(131,3) = HCF(134,131) = HCF(801,134) = HCF(935,801) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 93 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 93 and 1, to get
93 = 1 x 93 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 93 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(93,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 801, 935, 93?
Answer: HCF of 801, 935, 93 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 801, 935, 93 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 801, 935, 93 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
