Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 38, 23, 72 i.e. 1 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 38, 23, 72 is 1
GCD(38, 23, 72) = 1
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 38, 23, 72 is 1
GCD(38, 23, 72) = 1
Given Input numbers are 38, 23, 72
To find the GCD of numbers using factoring list out all the divisors of each number
Divisors of 38

1, 23
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 38, 23, 72 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 38, 23, 72 is 1.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 38, 23, 72 is 1
Given Input Data is 38, 23, 72
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 38 is 2 x 19
Prime Factorization of 23 is 23
Prime Factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 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(38, 23) = 874
GCD(38, 23) = ( 38 x 23 ) / 874
GCD(38, 23) = 874 / 874
GCD(38, 23) = 1
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 1 as first number and the next as 72
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(1, 72) = 72
GCD(1, 72) = ( 1 x 72 ) / 72
GCD(1, 72) = 72 / 72
GCD(1, 72) = 1
GCD of 38, 23, 72 is 1
