Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 32, 54, 72 i.e. 2 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 32, 54, 72 is 2
GCD(32, 54, 72) = 2
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 32, 54, 72 is 2
GCD(32, 54, 72) = 2
Given Input numbers are 32, 54, 72
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 54
List of positive integer divisors of 54 that divides 54 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54
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
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 32, 54, 72 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 32, 54, 72 is 2.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 32, 54, 72 is 2
Given Input Data is 32, 54, 72
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 54 is 2 x 3 x 3 x 3
Prime Factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 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(32, 54) = 864
GCD(32, 54) = ( 32 x 54 ) / 864
GCD(32, 54) = 1728 / 864
GCD(32, 54) = 2
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 72
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(2, 72) = 72
GCD(2, 72) = ( 2 x 72 ) / 72
GCD(2, 72) = 144 / 72
GCD(2, 72) = 2
GCD of 32, 54, 72 is 2
