HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 920, 930, 281, 658 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 920, 930, 281, 658 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 920, 930, 281, 658 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 920, 930, 281, 658 is 1.
HCF(920, 930, 281, 658) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 920, 930, 281, 658 is 1.
Step 1: Since 930 > 920, we apply the division lemma to 930 and 920, to get
930 = 920 x 1 + 10
Step 2: Since the reminder 920 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 10 and 920, to get
920 = 10 x 92 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 10, the HCF of 920 and 930 is 10
Notice that 10 = HCF(920,10) = HCF(930,920) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 281 > 10, we apply the division lemma to 281 and 10, to get
281 = 10 x 28 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 10 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 10, 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 10 and 281 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(281,10) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 658 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 658 and 1, to get
658 = 1 x 658 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 658 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(658,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 920, 930, 281, 658?
Answer: HCF of 920, 930, 281, 658 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 920, 930, 281, 658 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 920, 930, 281, 658 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
