We found the divisors of 12, 40, 27, 87 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 12, 40, 27, 87 is 1.

Therefore, GCD of numbers 12, 40, 27, 87 is 1

Given Input Data is 12, 40, 27, 87

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

Prime Factorization of 12 is 2 x 2 x 3

Prime Factorization of 40 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5

Prime Factorization of 27 is 3 x 3 x 3

Prime Factorization of 87 is 3 x 29

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(12, 40) = 120

GCD(12, 40) = ( 12 x 40 ) / 120

GCD(12, 40) = 480 / 120

GCD(12, 40) = 4

Step2:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 4 as first number and the next as 27

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

LCM(4, 27) = 108

GCD(4, 27) = ( 4 x 27 ) / 108

GCD(4, 27) = 108 / 108

GCD(4, 27) = 1

Step3:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 1 as first number and the next as 87

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

LCM(1, 87) = 87

GCD(1, 87) = ( 1 x 87 ) / 87

GCD(1, 87) = 87 / 87

GCD(1, 87) = 1

GCD of 12, 40, 27, 87 is 1
