1, 59

Greatest Common Divisior

We found the divisors of 72, 68, 60, 59 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 72, 68, 60, 59 is 1.

Therefore, GCD of numbers 72, 68, 60, 59 is 1

Given Input Data is 72, 68, 60, 59

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 68 is 2 x 2 x 17

Prime Factorization of 60 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

Prime Factorization of 59 is 59

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, 68) = 1224

GCD(72, 68) = ( 72 x 68 ) / 1224

GCD(72, 68) = 4896 / 1224

GCD(72, 68) = 4

Step2:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 4 as first number and the next as 60

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

LCM(4, 60) = 60

GCD(4, 60) = ( 4 x 60 ) / 60

GCD(4, 60) = 240 / 60

GCD(4, 60) = 4

Step3:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 4 as first number and the next as 59

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

LCM(4, 59) = 236

GCD(4, 59) = ( 4 x 59 ) / 236

GCD(4, 59) = 236 / 236

GCD(4, 59) = 1

GCD of 72, 68, 60, 59 is 1
