Question
Find Greatest Common Divisor of 44 and 22, using Euclidean algorithm.
Answer
The GCD of given numbers is 22.
Explanation
Step 1 :
Divide by and get the remainder
The remainder is zero => GCD is the last divisor .
We can summarize an algorithm into a following table.
| 44 | : | 22 | = | 2 | remainder ( 0 ) |
| GCD = 22 | |||||
