HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 414, 343, 82 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 414, 343, 82 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 414, 343, 82 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 414, 343, 82 is 1.
HCF(414, 343, 82) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 414, 343, 82 is 1.
Step 1: Since 414 > 343, we apply the division lemma to 414 and 343, to get
414 = 343 x 1 + 71
Step 2: Since the reminder 343 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 71 and 343, to get
343 = 71 x 4 + 59
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 71 and the new remainder 59, and apply the division lemma to get
71 = 59 x 1 + 12
We consider the new divisor 59 and the new remainder 12,and apply the division lemma to get
59 = 12 x 4 + 11
We consider the new divisor 12 and the new remainder 11,and apply the division lemma to get
12 = 11 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 11 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
11 = 1 x 11 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 414 and 343 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(11,1) = HCF(12,11) = HCF(59,12) = HCF(71,59) = HCF(343,71) = HCF(414,343) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 82 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 82 and 1, to get
82 = 1 x 82 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 82 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(82,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 414, 343, 82?
Answer: HCF of 414, 343, 82 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 414, 343, 82 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 414, 343, 82 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
