Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 54, 42, 18 i.e. 6 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 54, 42, 18 is 6
GCD(54, 42, 18) = 6
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 54, 42, 18 is 6
GCD(54, 42, 18) = 6
Given Input numbers are 54, 42, 18
To find the GCD of numbers using factoring list out all the divisors of each number
Divisors of 54
List of positive integer divisors of 54 that divides 54 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54
Divisors of 42
List of positive integer divisors of 42 that divides 42 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
Divisors of 18
List of positive integer divisors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 54, 42, 18 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 54, 42, 18 is 6.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 54, 42, 18 is 6
Given Input Data is 54, 42, 18
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 54 is 2 x 3 x 3 x 3
Prime Factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7
Prime Factorization of 18 is 2 x 3 x 3
Highest common occurrences in the given inputs are 21 x 31
Multiplying them we get the GCD as 6
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(54, 42) = 378
GCD(54, 42) = ( 54 x 42 ) / 378
GCD(54, 42) = 2268 / 378
GCD(54, 42) = 6
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 6 as first number and the next as 18
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(6, 18) = 18
GCD(6, 18) = ( 6 x 18 ) / 18
GCD(6, 18) = 108 / 18
GCD(6, 18) = 6
GCD of 54, 42, 18 is 6
