HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 924, 706, 813 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 924, 706, 813 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 924, 706, 813 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 924, 706, 813 is 1.
HCF(924, 706, 813) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 924, 706, 813 is 1.
Step 1: Since 924 > 706, we apply the division lemma to 924 and 706, to get
924 = 706 x 1 + 218
Step 2: Since the reminder 706 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 218 and 706, to get
706 = 218 x 3 + 52
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 218 and the new remainder 52, and apply the division lemma to get
218 = 52 x 4 + 10
We consider the new divisor 52 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
52 = 10 x 5 + 2
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 2 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 924 and 706 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(10,2) = HCF(52,10) = HCF(218,52) = HCF(706,218) = HCF(924,706) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 813 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 813 and 2, to get
813 = 2 x 406 + 1
Step 2: Since the reminder 2 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 1 and 2, to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 2 and 813 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(813,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 924, 706, 813?
Answer: HCF of 924, 706, 813 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 924, 706, 813 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 924, 706, 813 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
