Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 66, 81, 72 i.e. 3 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 66, 81, 72 is 3
GCD(66, 81, 72) = 3
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 66, 81, 72 is 3
GCD(66, 81, 72) = 3
Given Input numbers are 66, 81, 72
To find the GCD of numbers using factoring list out all the divisors of each number
Divisors of 66

1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66
Divisors of 81
List of positive integer divisors of 81 that divides 81 without a remainder.
1, 3, 9, 27, 81
Divisors of 72
List of positive integer divisors of 72 that divides 72 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 66, 81, 72 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 66, 81, 72 is 3.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 66, 81, 72 is 3
Given Input Data is 66, 81, 72
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 66 is 2 x 3 x 11
Prime Factorization of 81 is 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
Prime Factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
Highest common occurrences in the given inputs are 31
Multiplying them we get the GCD as 3
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(66, 81) = 1782
GCD(66, 81) = ( 66 x 81 ) / 1782
GCD(66, 81) = 5346 / 1782
GCD(66, 81) = 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 66, 81, 72 is 3
