HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 89, 876, 383 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 89, 876, 383 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 89, 876, 383 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 89, 876, 383 is 1.
HCF(89, 876, 383) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 89, 876, 383 is 1.
Step 1: Since 876 > 89, we apply the division lemma to 876 and 89, to get
876 = 89 x 9 + 75
Step 2: Since the reminder 89 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 75 and 89, to get
89 = 75 x 1 + 14
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 75 and the new remainder 14, and apply the division lemma to get
75 = 14 x 5 + 5
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 5 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 89 and 876 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(14,5) = HCF(75,14) = HCF(89,75) = HCF(876,89) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 383 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 383 and 1, to get
383 = 1 x 383 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 383 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(383,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 89, 876, 383?
Answer: HCF of 89, 876, 383 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 89, 876, 383 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 89, 876, 383 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
