Greatest Common Divisior

We found the divisors of 42, 30, 17 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 42, 30, 17 is 1.

Therefore, GCD of numbers 42, 30, 17 is 1

Given Input Data is 42, 30, 17

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 30 is 2 x 3 x 5

Prime Factorization of 17 is 17

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(42, 30) = 210

GCD(42, 30) = ( 42 x 30 ) / 210

GCD(42, 30) = 1260 / 210

GCD(42, 30) = 6

Step2:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 6 as first number and the next as 17

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

LCM(6, 17) = 102

GCD(6, 17) = ( 6 x 17 ) / 102

GCD(6, 17) = 102 / 102

GCD(6, 17) = 1

GCD of 42, 30, 17 is 1
