Make use of GCD Calculator to determine the Greatest Common Divisor of 88, 42, 84 i.e. 2 largest integer that divides all the numbers equally.
GCD of 88, 42, 84 is 2
GCD(88, 42, 84) = 2
Ex: 10, 15, 20 (or) 24, 48, 96,45 (or) 78902, 89765, 12345
GCD of numbers 88, 42, 84 is 2
GCD(88, 42, 84) = 2
Given Input numbers are 88, 42, 84
To find the GCD of numbers using factoring list out all the divisors of each number
Divisors of 88
List of positive integer divisors of 88 that divides 88 without a remainder.
1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88
Divisors of 42
List of positive integer divisors of 42 that divides 42 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
Divisors of 84
List of positive integer divisors of 84 that divides 84 without a remainder.
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84
Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 88, 42, 84 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 88, 42, 84 is 2.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 88, 42, 84 is 2
Given Input Data is 88, 42, 84
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 88 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 11
Prime Factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7
Prime Factorization of 84 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7
Highest common occurrences in the given inputs are 21
Multiplying them we get the GCD as 2
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(88, 42) = 1848
GCD(88, 42) = ( 88 x 42 ) / 1848
GCD(88, 42) = 3696 / 1848
GCD(88, 42) = 2
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 2 as first number and the next as 84
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(2, 84) = 84
GCD(2, 84) = ( 2 x 84 ) / 84
GCD(2, 84) = 168 / 84
GCD(2, 84) = 2
GCD of 88, 42, 84 is 2
