Given Input Data is 956, 158, 242

Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially

Prime Factorization of 956 is 2 x 2 x 239

Prime Factorization of 158 is 2 x 79

Prime Factorization of 242 is 2 x 11 x 11

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(956, 158) = 75524

GCD(956, 158) = ( 956 x 158 ) / 75524

GCD(956, 158) = 151048 / 75524

GCD(956, 158) = 2

Step2:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 242

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

LCM(2, 242) = 242

GCD(2, 242) = ( 2 x 242 ) / 242

GCD(2, 242) = 484 / 242

GCD(2, 242) = 2

GCD of 956, 158, 242 is 2
