Find Greatest Common Divisor of 5 and 15, using Euclidean algorithm.
Answer
The GCD of given numbers is 5.
Explanation
Step 1 :
Divide $ 15 $ by $ 5 $ and get the remainder
The remainder is zero => GCD is the last divisor $ \color{blue}{ \boxed { 5 }} $.
We can summarize an algorithm into a following table.
| 15 | : | 5 | = | 3 | remainder ( 0 ) |
| GCD = 5 | |||||
This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
The GCD equals the product of the numbers at the intersection.
