1, 281
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 72, 309, 640, 281 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 72, 309, 640, 281 is 1.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 72, 309, 640, 281 is 1
Given Input Data is 72, 309, 640, 281
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
Prime Factorization of 309 is 3 x 103
Prime Factorization of 640 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5
Prime Factorization of 281 is 281
The above numbers do not have any common prime factor. So GCD is 1
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(72, 309) = 7416
GCD(72, 309) = ( 72 x 309 ) / 7416
GCD(72, 309) = 22248 / 7416
GCD(72, 309) = 3
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 3 as first number and the next as 640
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(3, 640) = 1920
GCD(3, 640) = ( 3 x 640 ) / 1920
GCD(3, 640) = 1920 / 1920
GCD(3, 640) = 1
Step3:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 1 as first number and the next as 281
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(1, 281) = 281
GCD(1, 281) = ( 1 x 281 ) / 281
GCD(1, 281) = 281 / 281
GCD(1, 281) = 1
GCD of 72, 309, 640, 281 is 1
