Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 73, 12, 21 i.e. 1 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 73, 12, 21 is 1
GCD(73, 12, 21) = 1
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 73, 12, 21 is 1
GCD(73, 12, 21) = 1
Given Input numbers are 73, 12, 21
To find the GCD of numbers using factoring list out all the divisors of each number
Divisors of 73
List of positive integer divisors of 73 that divides 73 without a remainder.
1, 73
Divisors of 12
List of positive integer divisors of 12 that divides 12 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Divisors of 21
List of positive integer divisors of 21 that divides 21 without a remainder.
1, 3, 7, 21
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 73, 12, 21 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 73, 12, 21 is 1.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 73, 12, 21 is 1
Given Input Data is 73, 12, 21
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 73 is 73
Prime Factorization of 12 is 2 x 2 x 3
Prime Factorization of 21 is 3 x 7
The above numbers do not have any common prime factor. So GCD is 1
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(73, 12) = 876
GCD(73, 12) = ( 73 x 12 ) / 876
GCD(73, 12) = 876 / 876
GCD(73, 12) = 1
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 1 as first number and the next as 21
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(1, 21) = 21
GCD(1, 21) = ( 1 x 21 ) / 21
GCD(1, 21) = 21 / 21
GCD(1, 21) = 1
GCD of 73, 12, 21 is 1
