HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 94, 832, 702 i.e. 2 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 94, 832, 702 is 2 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 94, 832, 702 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 94, 832, 702 is 2.
HCF(94, 832, 702) = 2
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 94, 832, 702 is 2.
Step 1: Since 832 > 94, we apply the division lemma to 832 and 94, to get
832 = 94 x 8 + 80
Step 2: Since the reminder 94 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 80 and 94, to get
94 = 80 x 1 + 14
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 80 and the new remainder 14, and apply the division lemma to get
80 = 14 x 5 + 10
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 10 x 1 + 4
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 4 x 2 + 2
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 2 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 94 and 832 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(4,2) = HCF(10,4) = HCF(14,10) = HCF(80,14) = HCF(94,80) = HCF(832,94) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 702 > 2, we apply the division lemma to 702 and 2, to get
702 = 2 x 351 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 2, the HCF of 2 and 702 is 2
Notice that 2 = HCF(702,2) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 94, 832, 702?
Answer: HCF of 94, 832, 702 is 2 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 94, 832, 702 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 94, 832, 702 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
