Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 462, 974, 78, 978 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 462, 974, 78, 978 is 2.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 462, 974, 78, 978 is 2
Given Input Data is 462, 974, 78, 978
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 462 is 2 x 3 x 7 x 11
Prime Factorization of 974 is 2 x 487
Prime Factorization of 78 is 2 x 3 x 13
Prime Factorization of 978 is 2 x 3 x 163
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(462, 974) = 224994
GCD(462, 974) = ( 462 x 974 ) / 224994
GCD(462, 974) = 449988 / 224994
GCD(462, 974) = 2
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 78
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(2, 78) = 78
GCD(2, 78) = ( 2 x 78 ) / 78
GCD(2, 78) = 156 / 78
GCD(2, 78) = 2
Step3:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 978
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(2, 978) = 978
GCD(2, 978) = ( 2 x 978 ) / 978
GCD(2, 978) = 1956 / 978
GCD(2, 978) = 2
GCD of 462, 974, 78, 978 is 2
