HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 811, 344, 358 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 811, 344, 358 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 811, 344, 358 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 811, 344, 358 is 1.
HCF(811, 344, 358) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 811, 344, 358 is 1.
Step 1: Since 811 > 344, we apply the division lemma to 811 and 344, to get
811 = 344 x 2 + 123
Step 2: Since the reminder 344 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 123 and 344, to get
344 = 123 x 2 + 98
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 123 and the new remainder 98, and apply the division lemma to get
123 = 98 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 98 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
98 = 25 x 3 + 23
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 23,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 23 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 23 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
23 = 2 x 11 + 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 811 and 344 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(23,2) = HCF(25,23) = HCF(98,25) = HCF(123,98) = HCF(344,123) = HCF(811,344) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 358 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 358 and 1, to get
358 = 1 x 358 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 358 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(358,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 811, 344, 358?
Answer: HCF of 811, 344, 358 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 811, 344, 358 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 811, 344, 358 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
