Given Input Data is 51, 84, 72
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 51 is 3 x 17
Prime Factorization of 84 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7
Prime Factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

Finding GCD of 51, 84, 72 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(51, 84) = 1428
GCD(51, 84) = ( 51 x 84 ) / 1428
GCD(51, 84) = 4284 / 1428
GCD(51, 84) = 3
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 3 as first number and the next as 72
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(3, 72) = 72
GCD(3, 72) = ( 3 x 72 ) / 72
GCD(3, 72) = 216 / 72
GCD(3, 72) = 3
GCD of 51, 84, 72 is 3
