Finding GCD of 96, 42, 18 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(96, 42) = 672
GCD(96, 42) = ( 96 x 42 ) / 672
GCD(96, 42) = 4032 / 672
GCD(96, 42) = 6
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 6 as first number and the next as 18
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(6, 18) = 18
GCD(6, 18) = ( 6 x 18 ) / 18
GCD(6, 18) = 108 / 18
GCD(6, 18) = 6
GCD of 96, 42, 18 is 6
