1, 2, 251, 502
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 342, 872, 502 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 342, 872, 502 is 2.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 342, 872, 502 is 2
Given Input Data is 342, 872, 502
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 342 is 2 x 3 x 3 x 19
Prime Factorization of 872 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 109
Prime Factorization of 502 is 2 x 251
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(342, 872) = 149112
GCD(342, 872) = ( 342 x 872 ) / 149112
GCD(342, 872) = 298224 / 149112
GCD(342, 872) = 2
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 502
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(2, 502) = 502
GCD(2, 502) = ( 2 x 502 ) / 502
GCD(2, 502) = 1004 / 502
GCD(2, 502) = 2
GCD of 342, 872, 502 is 2
