The GCD of given numbers is 17.
factors of 272 are : | 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 17 , 34 , 68 , 136 , 272 |
factors of 1479 are : | 1 , 3 , 17 , 29 , 51 , 87 , 493 , 1479 |
We see that the Greatest Common Factor = 17.
This solution can be visualized using a Venn diagram.
The GCD equals the product of the numbers at the intersection.
