Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 506, 420, 532, 978 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 506, 420, 532, 978 is 2.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 506, 420, 532, 978 is 2
Given Input Data is 506, 420, 532, 978
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 506 is 2 x 11 x 23
Prime Factorization of 420 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7
Prime Factorization of 532 is 2 x 2 x 7 x 19
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(506, 420) = 106260
GCD(506, 420) = ( 506 x 420 ) / 106260
GCD(506, 420) = 212520 / 106260
GCD(506, 420) = 2
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 532
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(2, 532) = 532
GCD(2, 532) = ( 2 x 532 ) / 532
GCD(2, 532) = 1064 / 532
GCD(2, 532) = 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 506, 420, 532, 978 is 2
