HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 838, 307, 811 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 838, 307, 811 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 838, 307, 811 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 838, 307, 811 is 1.
HCF(838, 307, 811) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 838, 307, 811 is 1.
Step 1: Since 838 > 307, we apply the division lemma to 838 and 307, to get
838 = 307 x 2 + 224
Step 2: Since the reminder 307 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 224 and 307, to get
307 = 224 x 1 + 83
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 224 and the new remainder 83, and apply the division lemma to get
224 = 83 x 2 + 58
We consider the new divisor 83 and the new remainder 58,and apply the division lemma to get
83 = 58 x 1 + 25
We consider the new divisor 58 and the new remainder 25,and apply the division lemma to get
58 = 25 x 2 + 8
We consider the new divisor 25 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
25 = 8 x 3 + 1
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 1 x 8 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 838 and 307 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(8,1) = HCF(25,8) = HCF(58,25) = HCF(83,58) = HCF(224,83) = HCF(307,224) = HCF(838,307) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 811 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 811 and 1, to get
811 = 1 x 811 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 811 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(811,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 838, 307, 811?
Answer: HCF of 838, 307, 811 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 838, 307, 811 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 838, 307, 811 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
