HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 81, 57, 664, 652 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 81, 57, 664, 652 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 81, 57, 664, 652 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 81, 57, 664, 652 is 1.
HCF(81, 57, 664, 652) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 81, 57, 664, 652 is 1.
Step 1: Since 81 > 57, we apply the division lemma to 81 and 57, to get
81 = 57 x 1 + 24
Step 2: Since the reminder 57 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 24 and 57, to get
57 = 24 x 2 + 9
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 24 and the new remainder 9, and apply the division lemma to get
24 = 9 x 2 + 6
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 6 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 3 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 81 and 57 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(6,3) = HCF(9,6) = HCF(24,9) = HCF(57,24) = HCF(81,57) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 664 > 3, we apply the division lemma to 664 and 3, to get
664 = 3 x 221 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 3 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 3, to get
3 = 1 x 3 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 3 and 664 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(3,1) = HCF(664,3) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 652 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 652 and 1, to get
652 = 1 x 652 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 652 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(652,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 81, 57, 664, 652?
Answer: HCF of 81, 57, 664, 652 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 81, 57, 664, 652 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 81, 57, 664, 652 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
