HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 96, 77, 880, 335 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 96, 77, 880, 335 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 96, 77, 880, 335 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 96, 77, 880, 335 is 1.
HCF(96, 77, 880, 335) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 96, 77, 880, 335 is 1.
Step 1: Since 96 > 77, we apply the division lemma to 96 and 77, to get
96 = 77 x 1 + 19
Step 2: Since the reminder 77 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 19 and 77, to get
77 = 19 x 4 + 1
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 19 and the new remainder 1, and apply the division lemma to get
19 = 1 x 19 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 96 and 77 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(19,1) = HCF(77,19) = HCF(96,77) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 880 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 880 and 1, to get
880 = 1 x 880 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 880 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(880,1) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 335 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 335 and 1, to get
335 = 1 x 335 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 335 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(335,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

3. How to find HCF of 96, 77, 880, 335 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 96, 77, 880, 335 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
