Finding GCD of 36, 46, 42 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(36, 46) = 828

GCD(36, 46) = ( 36 x 46 ) / 828

GCD(36, 46) = 1656 / 828

GCD(36, 46) = 2


Step2:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 42

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

LCM(2, 42) = 42

GCD(2, 42) = ( 2 x 42 ) / 42

GCD(2, 42) = 84 / 42

GCD(2, 42) = 2

GCD of 36, 46, 42 is 2
