Greatest Common Divisior

We found the divisors of 50, 6, 16, 72 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 50, 6, 16, 72 is 2.

Therefore, GCD of numbers 50, 6, 16, 72 is 2

Given Input Data is 50, 6, 16, 72

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 6 is 2 x 3

Prime Factorization of 16 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

Prime Factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

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, 6) = 150

GCD(50, 6) = ( 50 x 6 ) / 150

GCD(50, 6) = 300 / 150

GCD(50, 6) = 2

Step2:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 16

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

LCM(2, 16) = 16

GCD(2, 16) = ( 2 x 16 ) / 16

GCD(2, 16) = 32 / 16

GCD(2, 16) = 2

Step3:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 72

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

LCM(2, 72) = 72

GCD(2, 72) = ( 2 x 72 ) / 72

GCD(2, 72) = 144 / 72

GCD(2, 72) = 2

GCD of 50, 6, 16, 72 is 2
