Greatest Common Divisior

We found the divisors of 20, 12, 18 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 20, 12, 18 is 2.

Therefore, GCD of numbers 20, 12, 18 is 2

Given Input Data is 20, 12, 18

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

Prime Factorization of 20 is 2 x 2 x 5

Prime Factorization of 12 is 2 x 2 x 3

Prime Factorization of 18 is 2 x 3 x 3

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(20, 12) = 60

GCD(20, 12) = ( 20 x 12 ) / 60

GCD(20, 12) = 240 / 60

GCD(20, 12) = 4

Step2:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 4 as first number and the next as 18

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

LCM(4, 18) = 36

GCD(4, 18) = ( 4 x 18 ) / 36

GCD(4, 18) = 72 / 36

GCD(4, 18) = 2

GCD of 20, 12, 18 is 2
