Finding GCD of 72, 48, 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(72, 48) = 144
GCD(72, 48) = ( 72 x 48 ) / 144
GCD(72, 48) = 3456 / 144
GCD(72, 48) = 24
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 24 as first number and the next as 36
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(24, 36) = 72
GCD(24, 36) = ( 24 x 36 ) / 72
GCD(24, 36) = 864 / 72
GCD(24, 36) = 12
GCD of 72, 48, 36 is 12
