Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 48, 31, 21 i.e. 1 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 48, 31, 21 is 1
GCD(48, 31, 21) = 1
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 48, 31, 21 is 1
GCD(48, 31, 21) = 1
Given Input numbers are 48, 31, 21
To find the GCD of numbers using factoring list out all the divisors of each number
Divisors of 48
List of positive integer divisors of 48 that divides 48 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48
Divisors of 31
List of positive integer divisors of 31 that divides 31 without a remainder.
1, 31
Divisors of 21
List of positive integer divisors of 21 that divides 21 without a remainder.
1, 3, 7, 21
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 48, 31, 21 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 48, 31, 21 is 1.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 48, 31, 21 is 1
Given Input Data is 48, 31, 21
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 48 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
Prime Factorization of 31 is 31
Prime Factorization of 21 is 3 x 7
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(48, 31) = 1488
GCD(48, 31) = ( 48 x 31 ) / 1488
GCD(48, 31) = 1488 / 1488
GCD(48, 31) = 1
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 1 as first number and the next as 21
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(1, 21) = 21
GCD(1, 21) = ( 1 x 21 ) / 21
GCD(1, 21) = 21 / 21
GCD(1, 21) = 1
GCD of 48, 31, 21 is 1
