HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 930, 604, 424, 507 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 930, 604, 424, 507 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 930, 604, 424, 507 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 930, 604, 424, 507 is 1.
HCF(930, 604, 424, 507) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 930, 604, 424, 507 is 1.
Step 1: Since 930 > 604, we apply the division lemma to 930 and 604, to get
930 = 604 x 1 + 326
Step 2: Since the reminder 604 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 326 and 604, to get
604 = 326 x 1 + 278
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 326 and the new remainder 278, and apply the division lemma to get
326 = 278 x 1 + 48
We consider the new divisor 278 and the new remainder 48,and apply the division lemma to get
278 = 48 x 5 + 38
We consider the new divisor 48 and the new remainder 38,and apply the division lemma to get
48 = 38 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 38 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
38 = 10 x 3 + 8
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 8,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 8 x 1 + 2
We consider the new divisor 8 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
8 = 2 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 930 and 604 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(8,2) = HCF(10,8) = HCF(38,10) = HCF(48,38) = HCF(278,48) = HCF(326,278) = HCF(604,326) = HCF(930,604) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 424 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 424 and 2, to get
424 = 2 x 212 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 2 and 424 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(424,2) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 507 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 507 and 2, to get
507 = 2 x 253 + 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 507 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(507,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 930, 604, 424, 507?
Answer: HCF of 930, 604, 424, 507 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 930, 604, 424, 507 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 930, 604, 424, 507 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
