We found the divisors of 42, 72, 47, 26 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 42, 72, 47, 26 is 1.

Therefore, GCD of numbers 42, 72, 47, 26 is 1

Given Input Data is 42, 72, 47, 26

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 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

Prime Factorization of 47 is 47

Prime Factorization of 26 is 2 x 13

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, 72) = 504

GCD(42, 72) = ( 42 x 72 ) / 504

GCD(42, 72) = 3024 / 504

GCD(42, 72) = 6

Step2:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 6 as first number and the next as 47

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

LCM(6, 47) = 282

GCD(6, 47) = ( 6 x 47 ) / 282

GCD(6, 47) = 282 / 282

GCD(6, 47) = 1

Step3:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 1 as first number and the next as 26

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

LCM(1, 26) = 26

GCD(1, 26) = ( 1 x 26 ) / 26

GCD(1, 26) = 26 / 26

GCD(1, 26) = 1

GCD of 42, 72, 47, 26 is 1
