HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 933, 3100, 4780 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 933, 3100, 4780 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 933, 3100, 4780 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 933, 3100, 4780 is 1.
HCF(933, 3100, 4780) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 933, 3100, 4780 is 1.
Step 1: Since 3100 > 933, we apply the division lemma to 3100 and 933, to get
3100 = 933 x 3 + 301
Step 2: Since the reminder 933 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 301 and 933, to get
933 = 301 x 3 + 30
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 301 and the new remainder 30, and apply the division lemma to get
301 = 30 x 10 + 1
We consider the new divisor 30 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
30 = 1 x 30 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 933 and 3100 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(30,1) = HCF(301,30) = HCF(933,301) = HCF(3100,933) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 4780 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 4780 and 1, to get
4780 = 1 x 4780 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 4780 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4780,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 933, 3100, 4780?
Answer: HCF of 933, 3100, 4780 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 933, 3100, 4780 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 933, 3100, 4780 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
