Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 251, 956, 172 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 251, 956, 172 is 1.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 251, 956, 172 is 1
Given Input Data is 251, 956, 172
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 251 is 251
Prime Factorization of 956 is 2 x 2 x 239
Prime Factorization of 172 is 2 x 2 x 43
The above numbers do not have any common prime factor. So GCD is 1
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(251, 956) = 239956
GCD(251, 956) = ( 251 x 956 ) / 239956
GCD(251, 956) = 239956 / 239956
GCD(251, 956) = 1
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 1 as first number and the next as 172
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(1, 172) = 172
GCD(1, 172) = ( 1 x 172 ) / 172
GCD(1, 172) = 172 / 172
GCD(1, 172) = 1
GCD of 251, 956, 172 is 1
