Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 40, 72, 71 i.e. 1 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 40, 72, 71 is 1
GCD(40, 72, 71) = 1
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 40, 72, 71 is 1
GCD(40, 72, 71) = 1
Given Input numbers are 40, 72, 71
To find the GCD of numbers using factoring list out all the divisors of each number
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 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
Divisors of 71
List of positive integer divisors of 71 that divides 71 without a remainder.
1, 71
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 40, 72, 71 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 40, 72, 71 is 1.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 40, 72, 71 is 1
Given Input Data is 40, 72, 71
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 40 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5
Prime Factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
Prime Factorization of 71 is 71
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(40, 72) = 360
GCD(40, 72) = ( 40 x 72 ) / 360
GCD(40, 72) = 2880 / 360
GCD(40, 72) = 8
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 8 as first number and the next as 71
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(8, 71) = 568
GCD(8, 71) = ( 8 x 71 ) / 568
GCD(8, 71) = 568 / 568
GCD(8, 71) = 1
GCD of 40, 72, 71 is 1
