HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 955, 2368 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 955, 2368 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 955, 2368 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 955, 2368 is 1.
HCF(955, 2368) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 955, 2368 is 1.
Step 1: Since 2368 > 955, we apply the division lemma to 2368 and 955, to get
2368 = 955 x 2 + 458
Step 2: Since the reminder 955 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 458 and 955, to get
955 = 458 x 2 + 39
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 458 and the new remainder 39, and apply the division lemma to get
458 = 39 x 11 + 29
We consider the new divisor 39 and the new remainder 29,and apply the division lemma to get
39 = 29 x 1 + 10
We consider the new divisor 29 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
29 = 10 x 2 + 9
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 9,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 9 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 9 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
9 = 1 x 9 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 955 and 2368 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(9,1) = HCF(10,9) = HCF(29,10) = HCF(39,29) = HCF(458,39) = HCF(955,458) = HCF(2368,955) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 955, 2368?
Answer: HCF of 955, 2368 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 955, 2368 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 955, 2368 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
