Greatest Common Divisior
We found the divisors of 972, 684, 660 . The biggest common divisior number is the GCD number.
So the Greatest Common Divisior 972, 684, 660 is 12.
Therefore, GCD of numbers 972, 684, 660 is 12
Given Input Data is 972, 684, 660
Make a list of Prime Factors of all the given numbers initially
Prime Factorization of 972 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
Prime Factorization of 684 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 19
Prime Factorization of 660 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 11
Highest common occurrences in the given inputs are 22 x 31
Multiplying them we get the GCD as 12
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(972, 684) = 18468
GCD(972, 684) = ( 972 x 684 ) / 18468
GCD(972, 684) = 664848 / 18468
GCD(972, 684) = 36
Step2:
Here we consider the GCD from the above i.e. 36 as first number and the next as 660
The formula of GCD is GCD(a, b) = ( a x b) / LCM(a, b)
LCM(36, 660) = 1980
GCD(36, 660) = ( 36 x 660 ) / 1980
GCD(36, 660) = 23760 / 1980
GCD(36, 660) = 12
GCD of 972, 684, 660 is 12
