Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 76, 20, 72 i.e. 4 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 76, 20, 72 is 4
GCD(76, 20, 72) = 4
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 76, 20, 72 is 4
GCD(76, 20, 72) = 4
Given Input numbers are 76, 20, 72
To find the GCD of numbers using factoring list out all the divisors of each number
Divisors of 76
List of positive integer divisors of 76 that divides 76 without a remainder.
1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
Divisors of 20
List of positive integer divisors of 20 that divides 20 without a remainder.
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
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 76, 20, 72 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 76, 20, 72 is 4.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 76, 20, 72 is 4
Given Input Data is 76, 20, 72
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 76 is 2 x 2 x 19
Prime Factorization of 20 is 2 x 2 x 5
Prime Factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
Highest common occurrences in the given inputs are 22
Multiplying them we get the GCD as 4
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(76, 20) = 380
GCD(76, 20) = ( 76 x 20 ) / 380
GCD(76, 20) = 1520 / 380
GCD(76, 20) = 4
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 4 as first number and the next as 72
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(4, 72) = 72
GCD(4, 72) = ( 4 x 72 ) / 72
GCD(4, 72) = 288 / 72
GCD(4, 72) = 4
GCD of 76, 20, 72 is 4
