HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 807, 534 i.e. 3 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 807, 534 is 3 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 807, 534 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 807, 534 is 3.
HCF(807, 534) = 3
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 807, 534 is 3.
Step 1: Since 807 > 534, we apply the division lemma to 807 and 534, to get
807 = 534 x 1 + 273
Step 2: Since the reminder 534 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 273 and 534, to get
534 = 273 x 1 + 261
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 273 and the new remainder 261, and apply the division lemma to get
273 = 261 x 1 + 12
We consider the new divisor 261 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
261 = 12 x 21 + 9
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 9 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 3 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 807 and 534 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(9,3) = HCF(12,9) = HCF(261,12) = HCF(273,261) = HCF(534,273) = HCF(807,534) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 807, 534?
Answer: HCF of 807, 534 is 3 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 807, 534 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 807, 534 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
