Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 42, 462, 642, 924 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 42, 462, 642, 924 is 6.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 42, 462, 642, 924 is 6
Given Input Data is 42, 462, 642, 924
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 462 is 2 x 3 x 7 x 11
Prime Factorization of 642 is 2 x 3 x 107
Prime Factorization of 924 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 11
Highest common occurrences in the given inputs are 21 x 31
Multiplying them we get the GCD as 6
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, 462) = 462
GCD(42, 462) = ( 42 x 462 ) / 462
GCD(42, 462) = 19404 / 462
GCD(42, 462) = 42
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 42 as first number and the next as 642
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(42, 642) = 4494
GCD(42, 642) = ( 42 x 642 ) / 4494
GCD(42, 642) = 26964 / 4494
GCD(42, 642) = 6
Step3:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 6 as first number and the next as 924
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(6, 924) = 924
GCD(6, 924) = ( 6 x 924 ) / 924
GCD(6, 924) = 5544 / 924
GCD(6, 924) = 6
GCD of 42, 462, 642, 924 is 6
