1, 2, 131, 262
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 996, 462, 262 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 996, 462, 262 is 2.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 996, 462, 262 is 2
Given Input Data is 996, 462, 262
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 996 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 83
Prime Factorization of 462 is 2 x 3 x 7 x 11
Prime Factorization of 262 is 2 x 131
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(996, 462) = 76692
GCD(996, 462) = ( 996 x 462 ) / 76692
GCD(996, 462) = 460152 / 76692
GCD(996, 462) = 6
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 6 as first number and the next as 262
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(6, 262) = 786
GCD(6, 262) = ( 6 x 262 ) / 786
GCD(6, 262) = 1572 / 786
GCD(6, 262) = 2
GCD of 996, 462, 262 is 2
