Finding GCD of 38, 12, 36 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(38, 12) = 228
GCD(38, 12) = ( 38 x 12 ) / 228
GCD(38, 12) = 456 / 228
GCD(38, 12) = 2
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 36
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(2, 36) = 36
GCD(2, 36) = ( 2 x 36 ) / 36
GCD(2, 36) = 72 / 36
GCD(2, 36) = 2
GCD of 38, 12, 36 is 2
