Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 32, 21, 18 i.e. 1 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 32, 21, 18 is 1
GCD(32, 21, 18) = 1
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 32, 21, 18 is 1
GCD(32, 21, 18) = 1
Given Input numbers are 32, 21, 18
To find the GCD of numbers using factoring list out all the divisors of each number
Divisors of 32
List of positive integer divisors of 32 that divides 32 without a remainder.
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
Divisors of 21
List of positive integer divisors of 21 that divides 21 without a remainder.
1, 3, 7, 21
Divisors of 18
List of positive integer divisors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 32, 21, 18 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 32, 21, 18 is 1.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 32, 21, 18 is 1
Given Input Data is 32, 21, 18
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 32 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
Prime Factorization of 21 is 3 x 7
Prime Factorization of 18 is 2 x 3 x 3
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(32, 21) = 672
GCD(32, 21) = ( 32 x 21 ) / 672
GCD(32, 21) = 672 / 672
GCD(32, 21) = 1
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 1 as first number and the next as 18
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(1, 18) = 18
GCD(1, 18) = ( 1 x 18 ) / 18
GCD(1, 18) = 18 / 18
GCD(1, 18) = 1
GCD of 32, 21, 18 is 1
