HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 804, 354, 553 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 804, 354, 553 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 804, 354, 553 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 804, 354, 553 is 1.
HCF(804, 354, 553) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 804, 354, 553 is 1.
Step 1: Since 804 > 354, we apply the division lemma to 804 and 354, to get
804 = 354 x 2 + 96
Step 2: Since the reminder 354 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 96 and 354, to get
354 = 96 x 3 + 66
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 96 and the new remainder 66, and apply the division lemma to get
96 = 66 x 1 + 30
We consider the new divisor 66 and the new remainder 30,and apply the division lemma to get
66 = 30 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 6 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 6, the HCF of 804 and 354 is 6
Notice that 6 = HCF(30,6) = HCF(66,30) = HCF(96,66) = HCF(354,96) = HCF(804,354) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 553 > 6, we apply the division lemma to 553 and 6, to get
553 = 6 x 92 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 6 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 6, to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 6 and 553 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(553,6) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 804, 354, 553?
Answer: HCF of 804, 354, 553 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 804, 354, 553 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 804, 354, 553 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
