Finding GCD of 24, 42, 12 using LCM Formula
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(24, 42) = 168
GCD(24, 42) = ( 24 x 42 ) / 168
GCD(24, 42) = 1008 / 168
GCD(24, 42) = 6
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 6 as first number and the next as 12
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(6, 12) = 12
GCD(6, 12) = ( 6 x 12 ) / 12
GCD(6, 12) = 72 / 12
GCD(6, 12) = 6
GCD of 24, 42, 12 is 6
