3-circle Venn diagram

A 3-circle Venn diagram, named after the English logician Robert Venn, is a diagram that shows how the elements of three sets are related using three overlapping circles.

When the three circles in a Venn diagram overlap, the overlapping parts contain elements that are common to any two circles or all the three circles. 

Some important observations

  • Elements in A and B = elements in A and B only plus elements in A, B, and C.
  • Elements in B and C = elements in B and C only plus elements in A, B, and C.
  • Elements in A and C = elements in A and C only plus elements in A, B, and C.
