Find Greatest Common Divisor of 78 and 859, using Euclidean algorithm.
Answer
The GCD of given numbers is 1.
Explanation
Step 1 :
Divide $ 859 $ by $ 78 $ and get the remainder
The remainder is positive ($ 1 > 0 $), so we will continue with division.
Step 2 :
Divide $ 78 $ by $ \color{blue}{ 1 } $ and get the remainder
The remainder is zero => GCD is the last divisor $ \color{blue}{ \boxed { 1 }} $.
We can summarize an algorithm into a following table.
| 859 | : | 78 | = | 11 | remainder ( 1 ) | ||
| 78 | : | 1 | = | 78 | remainder ( 0 ) | ||
| GCD = 1 | |||||||
This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
The GCD equals the product of the numbers at the intersection.
