Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 74, 37, 42 i.e. 1 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 74, 37, 42 is 1
GCD(74, 37, 42) = 1
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 74, 37, 42 is 1
GCD(74, 37, 42) = 1
Given Input numbers are 74, 37, 42
To find the GCD of numbers using factoring list out all the divisors of each number
Divisors of 74

1, 37
Divisors of 42
List of positive integer divisors of 42 that divides 42 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 74, 37, 42 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 74, 37, 42 is 1.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 74, 37, 42 is 1
Given Input Data is 74, 37, 42
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 74 is 2 x 37
Prime Factorization of 37 is 37
Prime Factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7
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(74, 37) = 74
GCD(74, 37) = ( 74 x 37 ) / 74
GCD(74, 37) = 2738 / 74
GCD(74, 37) = 37
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 37 as first number and the next as 42
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(37, 42) = 1554
GCD(37, 42) = ( 37 x 42 ) / 1554
GCD(37, 42) = 1554 / 1554
GCD(37, 42) = 1
GCD of 74, 37, 42 is 1
