Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 45, 12, 36 i.e. 3 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 45, 12, 36 is 3
GCD(45, 12, 36) = 3
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 45, 12, 36 is 3
GCD(45, 12, 36) = 3
Given Input numbers are 45, 12, 36
To find the GCD of numbers using factoring list out all the divisors of each number
Divisors of 45
List of positive integer divisors of 45 that divides 45 without a remainder.
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
Divisors of 12
List of positive integer divisors of 12 that divides 12 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Divisors of 36
List of positive integer divisors of 36 that divides 36 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 45, 12, 36 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 45, 12, 36 is 3.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 45, 12, 36 is 3
Given Input Data is 45, 12, 36
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 45 is 3 x 3 x 5
Prime Factorization of 12 is 2 x 2 x 3
Prime Factorization of 36 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
Highest common occurrences in the given inputs are 31
Multiplying them we get the GCD as 3
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(45, 12) = 180
GCD(45, 12) = ( 45 x 12 ) / 180
GCD(45, 12) = 540 / 180
GCD(45, 12) = 3
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 3 as first number and the next as 36
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(3, 36) = 36
GCD(3, 36) = ( 3 x 36 ) / 36
GCD(3, 36) = 108 / 36
GCD(3, 36) = 3
GCD of 45, 12, 36 is 3
