Finding GCD of 48, 21, 24 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(48, 21) = 336
GCD(48, 21) = ( 48 x 21 ) / 336
GCD(48, 21) = 1008 / 336
GCD(48, 21) = 3
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 3 as first number and the next as 24
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(3, 24) = 24
GCD(3, 24) = ( 3 x 24 ) / 24
GCD(3, 24) = 72 / 24
GCD(3, 24) = 3
GCD of 48, 21, 24 is 3
