Finding GCD of 72, 32, 68 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(72, 32) = 288
GCD(72, 32) = ( 72 x 32 ) / 288
GCD(72, 32) = 2304 / 288
GCD(72, 32) = 8
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 8 as first number and the next as 68
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(8, 68) = 136
GCD(8, 68) = ( 8 x 68 ) / 136
GCD(8, 68) = 544 / 136
GCD(8, 68) = 4
GCD of 72, 32, 68 is 4
