Finding GCD of 50, 72, 36 using Prime Factorization

Given Input Data is 50, 72, 36

Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially

Prime Factorization of 50 is 2 x 5 x 5

Prime Factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

Prime Factorization of 36 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

Finding GCD of 50, 72, 36 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(50, 72) = 1800

GCD(50, 72) = ( 50 x 72 ) / 1800

GCD(50, 72) = 3600 / 1800

GCD(50, 72) = 2

Step2:

Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 36

The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)

LCM(2, 36) = 36

GCD(2, 36) = ( 2 x 36 ) / 36

GCD(2, 36) = 72 / 36

GCD(2, 36) = 2

GCD of 50, 72, 36 is 2
