Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 542, 656, 74, 874 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 542, 656, 74, 874 is 2.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 542, 656, 74, 874 is 2
Given Input Data is 542, 656, 74, 874
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 542 is 2 x 271
Prime Factorization of 656 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 41
Prime Factorization of 74 is 2 x 37
Prime Factorization of 874 is 2 x 19 x 23
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(542, 656) = 177776
GCD(542, 656) = ( 542 x 656 ) / 177776
GCD(542, 656) = 355552 / 177776
GCD(542, 656) = 2
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 74
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(2, 74) = 74
GCD(2, 74) = ( 2 x 74 ) / 74
GCD(2, 74) = 148 / 74
GCD(2, 74) = 2
Step3:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 874
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(2, 874) = 874
GCD(2, 874) = ( 2 x 874 ) / 874
GCD(2, 874) = 1748 / 874
GCD(2, 874) = 2
GCD of 542, 656, 74, 874 is 2
