Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 178, 788, 172 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 178, 788, 172 is 2.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 178, 788, 172 is 2
Given Input Data is 178, 788, 172
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 178 is 2 x 89
Prime Factorization of 788 is 2 x 2 x 197
Prime Factorization of 172 is 2 x 2 x 43
Highest common occurrences in the given inputs are 21
Multiplying them we get the GCD as 2
Step1:
Let's calculate the GCD of first two numbers
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(178, 788) = 70132
GCD(178, 788) = ( 178 x 788 ) / 70132
GCD(178, 788) = 140264 / 70132
GCD(178, 788) = 2
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 172
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(2, 172) = 172
GCD(2, 172) = ( 2 x 172 ) / 172
GCD(2, 172) = 344 / 172
GCD(2, 172) = 2
GCD of 178, 788, 172 is 2
