HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 912, 355, 824, 35 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 912, 355, 824, 35 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 912, 355, 824, 35 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 912, 355, 824, 35 is 1.
HCF(912, 355, 824, 35) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 912, 355, 824, 35 is 1.
Step 1: Since 912 > 355, we apply the division lemma to 912 and 355, to get
912 = 355 x 2 + 202
Step 2: Since the reminder 355 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 202 and 355, to get
355 = 202 x 1 + 153
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 202 and the new remainder 153, and apply the division lemma to get
202 = 153 x 1 + 49
We consider the new divisor 153 and the new remainder 49,and apply the division lemma to get
153 = 49 x 3 + 6
We consider the new divisor 49 and the new remainder 6,and apply the division lemma to get
49 = 6 x 8 + 1
We consider the new divisor 6 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
6 = 1 x 6 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 912 and 355 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(6,1) = HCF(49,6) = HCF(153,49) = HCF(202,153) = HCF(355,202) = HCF(912,355) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 824 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 824 and 1, to get
824 = 1 x 824 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 824 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(824,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 35 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 35 and 1, to get
35 = 1 x 35 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 35 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(35,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 912, 355, 824, 35?
Answer: HCF of 912, 355, 824, 35 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 912, 355, 824, 35 using Euclid's Algorithm?
