The Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) for 56 72 is 8.
56=2*2*2*724=2*2*2*32*2*2=8=GCD
gcd(a,b) = greatest common divisor (or factor, whatever) of a and b. For any set of number, a1, a2, a3, ..., you can use the Euclidean algorithm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm) to get the gcd(a1, a2), and then again to get gcd(gcd(a1, a2), a3), etc. Often, though, you can eyeball it. So 24*3 = 72. Therefore, gcd(24, 72)=24. 24 does not divide 132, but 12 does (the next biggest factor of 24), so gcd(24, 72, 132)=12.
The least common multiple of 24 , 56 , 72 = 504
The greatest common factor of 24, 56 and 72 is 8.
GCD(27, 72) = 9
The LCM is 8568
The greatest common factor of 24 56 and 72 is 8.
GCD: 9
use the equation lcm(a,b)=ab/gcd(a,b) gcd = greatest common divisor gcd(88,56) use euclidean algortihm 88=56x1+32 56=32x1+24 32=24x1+8 24=8x2+0 therefore the gcd is 8. so lcm(88,56)= 88x56/8 =616
