Finding GCD of 38, 68, 72 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, 68) = 1292
GCD(38, 68) = ( 38 x 68 ) / 1292
GCD(38, 68) = 2584 / 1292
GCD(38, 68) = 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 38, 68, 72 is 2
