Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 18, 72, 34 i.e. 2 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 18, 72, 34 is 2
GCD(18, 72, 34) = 2
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 18, 72, 34 is 2
GCD(18, 72, 34) = 2
Given Input numbers are 18, 72, 34
To find the GCD of numbers using factoring list out all the divisors of each number
Divisors of 18
List of positive integer divisors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
Divisors of 72
List of positive integer divisors of 72 that divides 72 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
Divisors of 34
List of positive integer divisors of 34 that divides 34 without a remainder.
1, 2, 17, 34
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 18, 72, 34 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 18, 72, 34 is 2.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 18, 72, 34 is 2
Given Input Data is 18, 72, 34
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 18 is 2 x 3 x 3
Prime Factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
Prime Factorization of 34 is 2 x 17
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(18, 72) = 72
GCD(18, 72) = ( 18 x 72 ) / 72
GCD(18, 72) = 1296 / 72
GCD(18, 72) = 18
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 18 as first number and the next as 34
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(18, 34) = 306
GCD(18, 34) = ( 18 x 34 ) / 306
GCD(18, 34) = 612 / 306
GCD(18, 34) = 2
GCD of 18, 72, 34 is 2
