GCD(number1, number2, .....)

  • Where 'number1, number2, ......' are integer values.

GCD() calculates the 'Greatest Common Divisor' of two or more integers.

Description

GCD(number1, number2, .....)

For Example,

GCD(25,100) returns 25

The divisors for '25' are 1,5,5.

The divisors for '100' are 1,2,2,5,5.

So, common divisors are 1,5,5. Hence the GCD(25,100) is '25'.

  • GCD value is the largest interger that divides the input numbers without a remainder.
  • If any 'number' is nonnumeric, Calci displays an #ERROR message.
  • If any 'number' is negative, Calci displays an #ERROR message.
  • For only one 'number' is entered, Calci assumes the second number to be '0'.
  • If any 'number' is not an integer, it is truncated.

Examples

Function GCD Output
GCD(48,64) 16
GCD(125,0) 125
GCD(125,5) 5
GCD(125,5.5) 5
GCD(0.8,2) 2
