HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 825, 541, 414 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 825, 541, 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 825, 541, 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 825, 541, 414 is 1.
HCF(825, 541, 414) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 825, 541, 414 is 1.
Step 1: Since 825 > 541, we apply the division lemma to 825 and 541, to get
825 = 541 x 1 + 284
Step 2: Since the reminder 541 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 284 and 541, to get
541 = 284 x 1 + 257
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 284 and the new remainder 257, and apply the division lemma to get
284 = 257 x 1 + 27
We consider the new divisor 257 and the new remainder 27,and apply the division lemma to get
257 = 27 x 9 + 14
We consider the new divisor 27 and the new remainder 14,and apply the division lemma to get
27 = 14 x 1 + 13
We consider the new divisor 14 and the new remainder 13,and apply the division lemma to get
14 = 13 x 1 + 1
We consider the new divisor 13 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
13 = 1 x 13 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 825 and 541 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(13,1) = HCF(14,13) = HCF(27,14) = HCF(257,27) = HCF(284,257) = HCF(541,284) = HCF(825,541) .
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.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?

2. what is the HCF of 825, 541, 414?
Answer: HCF of 825, 541, 414 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 825, 541, 414 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 825, 541, 414 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
