Therefore, GCD of numbers 42, 20, 22, 84 is 2

Given Input Data is 42, 20, 22, 84

Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially

Prime Factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7

Prime Factorization of 20 is 2 x 2 x 5

Prime Factorization of 22 is 2 x 11

Prime Factorization of 84 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7

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(42, 20) = 420

GCD(42, 20) = ( 42 x 20 ) / 420

GCD(42, 20) = 840 / 420

GCD(42, 20) = 2

Step2:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 22

The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)

LCM(2, 22) = 22

GCD(2, 22) = ( 2 x 22 ) / 22

GCD(2, 22) = 44 / 22

GCD(2, 22) = 2

Step3:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 84

The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)

LCM(2, 84) = 84

GCD(2, 84) = ( 2 x 84 ) / 84

GCD(2, 84) = 168 / 84

GCD(2, 84) = 2

GCD of 42, 20, 22, 84 is 2
