Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Highest Common Factor (HCF)?
The Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two or more numbers is the largest number that divides each of them without leaving a remainder.
How is the HCF calculated?
The HCF is calculated using the Euclidean algorithm, which is an efficient method for computing the greatest common divisor of two numbers.
Can I calculate the HCF of more than two numbers?
Yes, this calculator supports input of two or more positive integers and calculates their HCF.
