Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 37, 40, 18 i.e. 1 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 37, 40, 18 is 1
GCD(37, 40, 18) = 1
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 37, 40, 18 is 1
GCD(37, 40, 18) = 1
Given Input numbers are 37, 40, 18
To find the GCD of numbers using factoring list out all the divisors of each number
Divisors of 37
List of positive integer divisors of 37 that divides 37 without a remainder.
1, 37
Divisors of 40
List of positive integer divisors of 40 that divides 40 without a remainder.
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40
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 37, 40, 18 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 37, 40, 18 is 1.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 37, 40, 18 is 1
Given Input Data is 37, 40, 18
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 37 is 37
Prime Factorization of 40 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5
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(37, 40) = 1480
GCD(37, 40) = ( 37 x 40 ) / 1480
GCD(37, 40) = 1480 / 1480
GCD(37, 40) = 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 37, 40, 18 is 1
