HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 835, 332, 503, 48 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 835, 332, 503, 48 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 835, 332, 503, 48 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 835, 332, 503, 48 is 1.
HCF(835, 332, 503, 48) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 835, 332, 503, 48 is 1.
Step 1: Since 835 > 332, we apply the division lemma to 835 and 332, to get
835 = 332 x 2 + 171
Step 2: Since the reminder 332 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 171 and 332, to get
332 = 171 x 1 + 161
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 171 and the new remainder 161, and apply the division lemma to get
171 = 161 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 161 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
161 = 10 x 16 + 1
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 1 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 835 and 332 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(161,10) = HCF(171,161) = HCF(332,171) = HCF(835,332) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 503 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 503 and 1, to get
503 = 1 x 503 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 503 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(503,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 48 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 48 and 1, to get
48 = 1 x 48 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 48 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(48,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 835, 332, 503, 48?
Answer: HCF of 835, 332, 503, 48 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 835, 332, 503, 48 using Euclid's Algorithm?
