Greatest Common Divisior

We found the divisors of 42, 4, 39, 31 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 42, 4, 39, 31 is 1.

Therefore, GCD of numbers 42, 4, 39, 31 is 1

Given Input Data is 42, 4, 39, 31

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 4 is 2 x 2

Prime Factorization of 39 is 3 x 13

Prime Factorization of 31 is 31

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, 4) = 84

GCD(42, 4) = ( 42 x 4 ) / 84

GCD(42, 4) = 168 / 84

GCD(42, 4) = 2

Step2:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 39

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

LCM(2, 39) = 78

GCD(2, 39) = ( 2 x 39 ) / 78

GCD(2, 39) = 78 / 78

GCD(2, 39) = 1

Step3:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 1 as first number and the next as 31

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

LCM(1, 31) = 31

GCD(1, 31) = ( 1 x 31 ) / 31

GCD(1, 31) = 31 / 31

GCD(1, 31) = 1

GCD of 42, 4, 39, 31 is 1
