HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 414, 795 i.e. 3 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 414, 795 is 3 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, 795 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, 795 is 3.
HCF(414, 795) = 3
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 414, 795 is 3.
Step 1: Since 795 > 414, we apply the division lemma to 795 and 414, to get
795 = 414 x 1 + 381
Step 2: Since the reminder 414 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 381 and 414, to get
414 = 381 x 1 + 33
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 381 and the new remainder 33, and apply the division lemma to get
381 = 33 x 11 + 18
We consider the new divisor 33 and the new remainder 18,and apply the division lemma to get
33 = 18 x 1 + 15
We consider the new divisor 18 and the new remainder 15,and apply the division lemma to get
18 = 15 x 1 + 3
We consider the new divisor 15 and the new remainder 3,and apply the division lemma to get
15 = 3 x 5 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 3, the HCF of 414 and 795 is 3
Notice that 3 = HCF(15,3) = HCF(18,15) = HCF(33,18) = HCF(381,33) = HCF(414,381) = HCF(795,414) .
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, 795?
Answer: HCF of 414, 795 is 3 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 414, 795 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 414, 795 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
