Greatest Common Divisior

We found the divisors of 50, 38, 42 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 50, 38, 42 is 2.

Therefore, GCD of numbers 50, 38, 42 is 2

Given Input Data is 50, 38, 42

Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially

Prime Factorization of 50 is 2 x 5 x 5

Prime Factorization of 38 is 2 x 19

Prime Factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7

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(50, 38) = 950

GCD(50, 38) = ( 50 x 38 ) / 950

GCD(50, 38) = 1900 / 950

GCD(50, 38) = 2

Step2:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 42

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

LCM(2, 42) = 42

GCD(2, 42) = ( 2 x 42 ) / 42

GCD(2, 42) = 84 / 42

GCD(2, 42) = 2

GCD of 50, 38, 42 is 2
