1, 3, 9, 59, 177, 531
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 222, 462, 21, 531 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 222, 462, 21, 531 is 3.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 222, 462, 21, 531 is 3
Given Input Data is 222, 462, 21, 531
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 222 is 2 x 3 x 37
Prime Factorization of 462 is 2 x 3 x 7 x 11
Prime Factorization of 21 is 3 x 7
Prime Factorization of 531 is 3 x 3 x 59
Highest common occurrences in the given inputs are 31
Multiplying them we get the GCD as 3
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(222, 462) = 17094
GCD(222, 462) = ( 222 x 462 ) / 17094
GCD(222, 462) = 102564 / 17094
GCD(222, 462) = 6
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 6 as first number and the next as 21
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(6, 21) = 42
GCD(6, 21) = ( 6 x 21 ) / 42
GCD(6, 21) = 126 / 42
GCD(6, 21) = 3
Step3:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 3 as first number and the next as 531
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(3, 531) = 531
GCD(3, 531) = ( 3 x 531 ) / 531
GCD(3, 531) = 1593 / 531
GCD(3, 531) = 3
GCD of 222, 462, 21, 531 is 3
