HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 633, 878, 414 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 633, 878, 414 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 633, 878, 414 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 633, 878, 414 is 1.
HCF(633, 878, 414) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 633, 878, 414 is 1.
Step 1: Since 878 > 633, we apply the division lemma to 878 and 633, to get
878 = 633 x 1 + 245
Step 2: Since the reminder 633 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 245 and 633, to get
633 = 245 x 2 + 143
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 245 and the new remainder 143, and apply the division lemma to get
245 = 143 x 1 + 102
We consider the new divisor 143 and the new remainder 102,and apply the division lemma to get
143 = 102 x 1 + 41
We consider the new divisor 102 and the new remainder 41,and apply the division lemma to get
102 = 41 x 2 + 20
We consider the new divisor 41 and the new remainder 20,and apply the division lemma to get
41 = 20 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 20 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
20 = 1 x 20 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 633 and 878 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(20,1) = HCF(41,20) = HCF(102,41) = HCF(143,102) = HCF(245,143) = HCF(633,245) = HCF(878,633) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 414 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 414 and 1, to get
414 = 1 x 414 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 414 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(414,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.

2. what is the HCF of 633, 878, 414?
Answer: HCF of 633, 878, 414 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 633, 878, 414 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 633, 878, 414 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
