Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 256, 982, 40, 958 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 256, 982, 40, 958 is 2.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 256, 982, 40, 958 is 2
Given Input Data is 256, 982, 40, 958
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 256 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
Prime Factorization of 982 is 2 x 491
Prime Factorization of 40 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5
Prime Factorization of 958 is 2 x 479
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(256, 982) = 125696
GCD(256, 982) = ( 256 x 982 ) / 125696
GCD(256, 982) = 251392 / 125696
GCD(256, 982) = 2
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 40
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(2, 40) = 40
GCD(2, 40) = ( 2 x 40 ) / 40
GCD(2, 40) = 80 / 40
GCD(2, 40) = 2
Step3:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 958
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(2, 958) = 958
GCD(2, 958) = ( 2 x 958 ) / 958
GCD(2, 958) = 1916 / 958
GCD(2, 958) = 2
GCD of 256, 982, 40, 958 is 2
