HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 969, 714 i.e. 51 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 969, 714 is 51 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 969, 714 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 969, 714 is 51.
HCF(969, 714) = 51
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 969, 714 is 51.
Step 1: Since 969 > 714, we apply the division lemma to 969 and 714, to get
969 = 714 x 1 + 255
Step 2: Since the reminder 714 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 255 and 714, to get
714 = 255 x 2 + 204
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 255 and the new remainder 204, and apply the division lemma to get
255 = 204 x 1 + 51
We consider the new divisor 204 and the new remainder 51, and apply the division lemma to get
204 = 51 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 51, the HCF of 969 and 714 is 51
Notice that 51 = HCF(204,51) = HCF(255,204) = HCF(714,255) = HCF(969,714) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 969, 714?
Answer: HCF of 969, 714 is 51 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 969, 714 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 969, 714 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
