Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 159, 480, 852 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 159, 480, 852 is 3.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 159, 480, 852 is 3
Given Input Data is 159, 480, 852
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 159 is 3 x 53
Prime Factorization of 480 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
Prime Factorization of 852 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 71
Highest common occurrences in the given inputs are 31
Multiplying them we get the GCD as 3
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(159, 480) = 25440
GCD(159, 480) = ( 159 x 480 ) / 25440
GCD(159, 480) = 76320 / 25440
GCD(159, 480) = 3
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 3 as first number and the next as 852
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(3, 852) = 852
GCD(3, 852) = ( 3 x 852 ) / 852
GCD(3, 852) = 2556 / 852
GCD(3, 852) = 3
GCD of 159, 480, 852 is 3
