HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 95, 608, 632 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 95, 608, 632 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 95, 608, 632 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 95, 608, 632 is 1.
HCF(95, 608, 632) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 95, 608, 632 is 1.
Step 1: Since 608 > 95, we apply the division lemma to 608 and 95, to get
608 = 95 x 6 + 38
Step 2: Since the reminder 95 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 38 and 95, to get
95 = 38 x 2 + 19
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 38 and the new remainder 19, and apply the division lemma to get
38 = 19 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 19, the HCF of 95 and 608 is 19
Notice that 19 = HCF(38,19) = HCF(95,38) = HCF(608,95) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 632 > 19, we apply the division lemma to 632 and 19, to get
632 = 19 x 33 + 5
Step 2: Since the reminder 19 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 5 and 19, to get
19 = 5 x 3 + 4
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 4, and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 4 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 4 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
4 = 1 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 19 and 632 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(4,1) = HCF(5,4) = HCF(19,5) = HCF(632,19) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 95, 608, 632?
Answer: HCF of 95, 608, 632 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 95, 608, 632 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 95, 608, 632 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
