How to use the GCD / HCF Calculator
- Choose a calculation mode when one is available.
- Enter the required values using the examples and field notes as a guide.
- Select Calculate or press Enter.
- Review the primary result, supporting values, and working.
Worked example
48 = 18×2 + 12; 18 = 12×1 + 6; 12 = 6×2, so GCD = 6.
Assumptions
The calculator uses real-number arithmetic unless complex square or quadratic roots are explicitly shown. Decimal displays can be rounded while calculations retain normal browser numeric precision.
Limitations
- The all-zero list has no finite greatest common divisor here.
- Bézout coefficients are shown only for two integers.
Frequently asked questions
Does the GCD / HCF Calculator accept decimals and negative values?
It accepts them wherever the selected operation permits. Invalid domains are identified before a result is shown.
How are decimal results rounded?
Calculations retain JavaScript numeric precision and display a readable number of significant digits. A displayed decimal may therefore be rounded.
Are entries stored?
No. The calculation runs in your browser and this page does not store the values you enter.
